Cheech is buying what she’s selling Actor/comedian purchases artwork from DMC professor Gabriella Ybarra gybarra@foghornnews.com Del Mar College art professor Amorette Garza never thought she would be able to express her Mexican-American heritage on such a national level. The sculpture artist is now a part of what is otherwise known as the largest private Chicano art collection in the United States,

amassed by beloved actor and comedian Cheech Marin.

Cheech approached Garza earlier this year about purchasing two of her artworks, following a recommendation by the Art Museum of South Texas.

“It’s extremely validating to be a part of this prestigious collection,” Garza said. “Cheech is very observant and thoughtful about what he’s into, so when he said he wanted my work it was so exciting.”

The “Cheech and Chong” actor has collected over 700 Chicano-inspired works over the

past 30 years and has been recognized as one of the top 200 art collectors worldwide.

According to Garza, Cheech had been looking for more female representation within his art collection and immediately gravitated toward what Garza refers to as “Tchotchkes,” the Yiddish word for trinkets, which are heavily influenced by the Día de los Muertos skeletal design.

Del Mar College plans to up the “dreams delivered” part of its motto with the Coastal Bend SHRM Job Fair.

The fair will take place at 10.a.m to 2.p.m on Friday May 18th, and early admission for veterans will be available at 9.a.m.

The Career Development Department will gather multiple employers from around the community to interact with and recruit students for employment.

Career Counselor Fernando Garza and Career Development Coordinator Vanessa Adkins contact numerous employers each job fair to give students a variety of employers to interact with.

The college holds several job fairs each year.

“We have a minimum of 30 employers per job fair,” Adkins said.

The event will take place at the Center for Economic Development, 3209 S. Staples.

Adkins said veterans get early admission.

In addition to connecting students with potential employers, the fair also provides students with ample interview tips.

“That’s the purpose of the job fair, so that they can see these folks in action. These are the people who are going to be hiring students in the future,” Garza said.

The job fairs are open to all students, regardless of major.

“One huge population that we are tapping into now is GED, so we are trying to get employers to come and hire those type of students,” Adkins said.

The Career Development Department also offers mock interviews and one-on-one time to help students solidify their interview skills.

“A lot of them are blank so we try to help them to start thinking of some of the verbiage to use and to think about what the company’s all about, Garza said.

Located outside city limits, unincorporated settlements are attracting low-income individuals seeking a place to build a home and call their own.

Lacking basic infrastructure and especially dealing with toxic water issues, residents of these settlements, known as colonias, learn to adapt to what they call “the life of a colonia.”

In Nueces County alone, there are nearly 200 colonias dealing with the unsafe and unsanitary environment that comes with living on a colonia.

After living in the colonia of Petronila for seven years with her father, Del Mar student and social work advocate Yvette Reyes remains hopeful about the living conditions that continue to affect her family life.

“We have water wells, but we have to buy our own water,” she said. “We can’t drink, we can’t cook with the water ... the water’s pretty slimy, you can tell the difference.”

Oh, the places we’ll go, together Mia Estrada mestrada@ foghornnews.com

The last four years of my life have been dedicated to academics and all the studying that comes with it. It sounds horrible, I know, but my life changed for the better when I decided to attend Collegiate High School.

As a middle schooler, I really didn’t know what Collegiate was or of the nature of the school.

However, I applied because I heard it was small and offered a lot of opportunities and at that time in my life I was being bullied by a group of kids and wanted to get away from that atmosphere. It scared me horribly to walk into a large cafeteria and face the brutality of some students.

Collegiate isn’t like that. The staff, teachers and students shaped it into a welcoming community. Students are motivated

This is Jonny G., logging off ...

What can I say about my six years at Del Mar College and my time spent with the Foghorn News staff?

Well, it’s safe to say that I finally have made it through the end of this long crazy journey that I call college life. It was like it was almost yesterday when I was approached by my adviser Robert Muilenburg to join the staff back in fall 2012 after being impressed by my photos and writing reviews for the Foghorn. After accidentally leaking out Liam Hemsworth’s fate in “Expendables 2,” I immediately thought to myself, “Ok, I think after reading this, they’re probably going to kick me off the staff and tell me to rethink my major.”

Thankfully, that review was a learning experience. Years later, I was covering events ranging from job fairs to live streaming President Donald Trump’s visit to Annaville after Hurricane Harvey hit. And also, when I became Entertainment Editor for the Foghorn News, I was ecstatic because of my autism, I never really was able to express myself but this program helped me get into my

and dedicated to the passion of their career. It’s one big family, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned while attending (there are many), it’s strive for what you want to be.

Since age 14 I’ve known I wanted to spend the rest of my life and career dedicated to the art of journalism, and after spending a lot of my time in the library in middle school, reading books, I knew I wanted to be a writer.

Knowing the world needs someone to aid and shine a light on the many secrets hiding from the people’s eyes, it is in my interest to share the madness and wonders of the world. I plan to spend the rest of my future and career shining a light on local, national and world events important to the public ear.

I really learned my junior year of high school how essential journalism is to the democracy we have in the United States and I began taking college classes focused on journalism, even writing for the college newspaper, the Foghorn News. While writing for the Foghorn, I was able to experience and learn more about journalism eth-

comfort zone and boosted my confidence.

I’ve been to many conferences in San Antonio, Tyler, Dallas, Arlington, but the one conference that stood out for me was when I went to Washington, D.C. It was an experience for me as I traveled out of state by myself, got to hear some great speakers there including Donna Brazille, and even got a photo next to the Lincoln Memorial.

But the biggest surprise of all came at my last semester where I won first place at TIPA for my video review I did for “Justice League.” I had to pinch myself when I got the news because I thought to myself, “Did I really just win first for me just talking about a DC comics flick in my bedroom?”

But this to me was an experience I am forever thankful for and I want to thank my advisers Muilenburg and Scott “Scotty B” Beckett for believing in me in making those videos.

I also want to thank the editors who were also a part of this journey that helped and believed in me, Cody, Raul, Sam, Cayce, Colby, Natalie and Mark you guys are amazing. I will forever remember my six years spent with the Foghorn News and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Me, my trench coat will be sorely missed Matthew Tamez mtamez@ foghornnews.com

My time here at this institution has certainly been a new experience. I was homeschooled my entire life because of my father’s work and the possibility we may not stay in one place very long. However, my time here at Del Mar allowed me to explore what I wanted to do with my life and do so in a more social environment.

Initially starting as an English writing major, I developed my writing skills and was directed to the Foghorn News as a possible outlet. It was here that my passion for writing became a passion for news writing and reviewing.

I still recall and have in my possession the first article I wrote for The Foghorn, a review of the movie “Goosebumps.” Developing my skills from reviewing to news writing and gathering, photography and even editing, the Foghorn taught me skills I will need for my future.

Having taken the classes concurrently with many of our other graduating writers and editors and having the same professor, there was a sense of camaraderie and

familiarity.

The classes and the newspaper seemed more like a job with co-workers and friends than an actual class. This place helped shape the type of person I would become.

Hours spent in the lab were filled with wit and laughter as we interacted, with my trench coat the subject of many jokes. From discovering the do’s and don’ts of using a microwave, to what may have been the most heartbreaking critique a class has ever received on their photo essay, to Professor Robert Muilenburg’s desire for the men in his classes to just get a damn haircut, I personally will be talking about the events that happened here and the people I’ve know for years to come.

Wherever I end up after I graduate, I will always remember the experiences and times I had here at Del Mar and at the Foghorn.

I thank Muilenburg, lab adviser Scott Beckett, and the editors and writers who have come and gone throughout my time here that made this part of my life something to look back on fondly, and a template to look forward to in my future endeavors.

To a young adult who had never experienced a real school setting, this place is the best I could have ever asked for. So long, so long, so long. Oh, and thanks for all the cake.

(Colonias from Page 1) property in Petronila with her father, Reyes has seen change, but more often than not, those changes become unfulfilled promises.

“A couple of years ago, when I first moved out there, they started putting in (new) water lines — we are a little bit fortunate, yes, but they stopped right before our block,” she said. “So we still don’t have water offered by the city.”

A major concern is the dilapidated state of the roads and the danger they pose to the community.

“There’s been this one curve where nobody’s really put any signs up,” she said. “There’s been two deaths already.”

Combined with her already established love for social work, Reyes’ direct connection to the conditions in the colonias has motivated her to help out the Colonia Initiative in whatever way she can. Reyes firmly believes in the progress she and her fellow activists have worked so hard for, vowing to leave the colonias only when conditions have improved.

Recently, Reyes went with the DMC Social Work Club to pass out water to the colonias.

ENVIRONMENTAL For colonia residents, their biggest issue is the land they live on.

“Nueces County is toxic,” said Lionel Lopez, one of the founders of South Texas Colonia Initiative, a nonprofit that has helped the colonias for over four decades.

Often flat and low-lying, the land is subject to flooding that can last for days. Rosa Garcia of the Rancho Banquete Colonia said the flooding in her area “can get super high,” citing one time when the water went up to her knees.

Lopez and wife Juanita, who together run the South Texas Colonia Initiative, say the county often will not help them build the proper drainage systems for the area, which causes more problems.

“When there isn’t proper drainage it causes the flooding water to stay put for days,” Juanita Lopez said. “Then not only do the septic

tanks overflow, but the residents have a hard time getting around.”

The drainage ditches that do exist are usually not up to par, according to the Lopezes.

“They are often full of gross and toxic water. The creeks and ditches are all dead,” Lionel Lopez said.

Juanita also said the standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and more so diseases such as West Nile and malaria.

“Oil wells play a huge part in making the water dirty,” Lionel said, “but also the farmers are putting pesticides and chemicals on the plants that are going into the water table. It all goes back into the water.”

He said the county does not help control the toxic environment.

For the colonias to begin to get better, the Lopezes believe that the water needs to be one of the first priorities.

“So many people still don’t have water out there,” Lionel said.

They also believe that the upcoming hurricane season could enhance many of the problems that colonia residents face.

“People are still recovering from Harvey, “Juanita said, “and the next hurricane season is just around the corner.

POLITICAL While many people want the colonias to get help, actual help proves to be hard.

Most recently, Gov. Gregg Abbott vetoed funding for the colonias, cutting almost $860,000 in the Colonias Initiative Program within the Secretary of State’s Office. The office, which closed last fall, would often bridge the gap for colonia residents and state services.

Keta Caballero, the former director of the Colonias Initiative Program, said that “before residents could contact our office and we would help get them the help if we could, but now they have to do it all themselves.”

Even with the former office, technicalities from county and state laws and regulations often keep the colonias from getting help.

The county commissioners are usually the people who deal colonias at the local level, but do not have the power to fix the most vital issues.

Many colonias are not even recognized as colonias because of the Cranston Gonzalez Act of 1990 that only recognizes colonias established before Nov. 28, 1989.

This leads to newer colonias dealing with the same problems as older ones not being eligible for help or resources allocated to the colonias.

“The county does not oversee water, we don’t have any control, we don’t own water companies, we don’t have any water lines so we’re relying on private entities to supply the water to these colonias,” Nueces County Commissioner John Marez previously told the Foghorn News.

Colonia residents also have a hard time with proper transportation. Colonias fall under private land, which makes it illegal for county resources to be used on private roads. This leads to the roads being dilapidated and hard to use.

These problems become immediate for residents when ambulances or police are unable to use the road or the residents cannot drive on them.

“When there isn’t proper drainage it causes the flooding water to stay put for days.

Then not only do the septic tanks overflow, but the residents have a hard time getting around.”

— Juanita Lopez, South Texas Colonia Initiative

Mark Young/Foghorn News

Lionel and Juanita Lopez, founders of the South Texas Colonia Initiative, have been working in the colonias for over 40 years.

FUTURE For residents, the poverty they often live in means that they just have to make the most of what they have and try to make it better.

Rosa Garcia, from the Rancho Banquete Colonia, wants to build her life and make the most of it for her family of seven.

Rosemary Jimenez, from the Cindy Park Colonia, however, is working toward leaving as soon as possible.

“I can’t live out here anymore,” Jimenez said. ”If I stay out here, it will kill me.”

Yvette Reyes says her plan is to stay “in the (colonias), my plans (are) to help everyone in this area eventually have fresh water.”

Reyes also wants to work on getting clean water to the colonias. She recently has begun working on more projects with the colonias for the social work club.

Lionel and Juanita Lopez say that for the colonias to receive help, they’ll need elected officials who advocate for them.

“The colonias are a sore spot for officials in this area,” Juanita said.

“They never come to the colonias and they don’t offer a lot of help.”

According to the Lopezes, the most help that elected officials have done recently was Marez, who got the Food Bank to once again deliver food out in Driscoll.

After nearly four decades, the Lopezes aren’t close to finishing.

“There’s always something,” Juanita said. “Slowly things have changed after years of advocating and there will always be something.”

They are working on trying to bring a grocery store to the colonias to provide them with fresh food and to get a space in Banquete for a clinic or other reasons.

“It’s never ending, but we are just going to keep on working, even if it is just one step at a time,” Juanita said.

The Nueces County colonias continue to face environmental injustices that advocates like Lionel and Juanita Lopez, the DMC Social Work Club, and many others are active in helping residents obtain basic needs because as Juanita puts it: “Colonia residents are the ‘forgotten people.’”

Police did not known the reason for the suicide.

Lisa Moore, a student at the school, knew Delle from in-school suspension, The Daily Morning News reported. It was claimed that Moore and Delle would pass notes back and forth.

"He and I would pass notes back and forth and he would talk about life and stuff," she said.

Moore said he always wrote at

the end of a letter “write back,” but on the Monday before his passing he wrote “later days.”

Some students never notice any signs from Delle.

Sean Forrester remembered Delle as friendly.

"He never looked like he had anything wrong with him. He always made a joke over everything," Forrester said.

Delle was the son of Joseph R. Delle and Wanda Crane; he lived with his father. It was reported that

Delle and his father were in counseling together, but no further information was given.

The shooting at the high school was the first known teen suicide in the school, though there had been about five teen suicides before in the town.

Throughout the years, the song “Jeremy” has brought more awareness to Delle’s story and victims of suicide. In Texas from 2012-14, the rates of teen suicides were 11.92 per 100,000.

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

— Galatians 6:9-10 New In-

Being a kind person is a tough task for many people, and when we finally get pushed to our limits it’s hard to just to turn the other cheek and let things go. God wants us to practice being kind stewards to others and using his word to be a blessing in others’ lives.

Having a temper can be a huge problem whenever someone has wronged us and we tend to lash out in hostility when we are pushed to our limits. God tells us to act similar to

how he would act in order to carry out his will effectively.

Life has a habit of getting the better of us and when this happens we tend to lose our caring nature and become bitter. We are told from a young age that if we do well to others then they will do well upon to us. However this is not how life works and we eventually learn that in the end no one owes us anything at all.

Regardless, we still have an obligation to God to fulfill our Christian duty.

Even when people do us

wrong we still need to treat them with respect and kindness.

God gave his only begotten son to die for our sins on cavalry so that we could one day be forgiven.

When you think about it, that’s a very large act of kindness that was shown to us, don’t you think?

When we think about the ultimate sacrifice that was made for us then we tend to not put much thought into it. However, we should be thinking of how if God showed the ultimate act of

kindness to us then why can’t we show kindness to the very people that his only son died for.

God even tells us that our good deeds will not go unnoticed before him, and that he will reward them in the end.

When we act Christ-like and embody the holy spirit God is pleased with us.

The core thing to understand is that God is just like a fleshand-blood parent to us. When we do good things and follow his word faithfully God rewards our behavior.

the laughing Buddha painted to have a skeletal appearance with the Catholic Sacred Heart in the middle of its chest. The second sculpture, “Tchotchke: Baby with a Heart,” is a ceramic baby doll with the same skeletal design and heart.

“I find found objects and then manipulate them,” Garza said.

“I like the idea of taking something that already exists, such as something that someone got rid of, and giving it a new life.”

Garza delved into this concept after seeing several stereotypical images and objects from different cultures sold in stores that she took as offensive. She would take the objects home and change them into skeletons as to not see their original appearance, or as she would say “tchotchke them up.”

The point, according to Garza, is to show that we all have skeletons underneath our skin, signifying that we are all the same. She hopes her sculptures help in getting past the several stereotypical images, which in some cases, can even be racist.

“I really enjoy her work and find it very interesting,” said studio art major Andrea Labrador. “The use of found objects and creating artwork from that rather than starting completely from scratch is something I would have never thought of.”

Although Garza says her art isn’t completely Mexican, she says her sculptures are a good representation of what Texas is — an immense melting pot of cultures from far and wide.

Cheech held an exhibit at the Art Museum of South Texas from January to April, “Los Tejanos: Chicano Art from the Collection of Cheech Marin,” featuring 39 works from 14 artists. The collection was said to depict the Chicano movement’s contribution to the art world.

According to CBS News, Cheech is expected to open his own Mexican-American Art Museum in Riverside, California, the very first of its kind, allowing his vast collection to have a permanent home.

Democracy shines through protests in U.S. DMC professor’s second book comes out on May 8

tweeting about politicians or about women, young people, LGBT folks, or veterans like John McCain. He has built a large opposition of all different types of people to him who don’t often feel a part of the political process.

To put it simply, this is an angry time in history, where people don’t feel like they are getting what they need and are doing something about it.

Mark Young myoung@foghornnews.com History Professor Dawson Barrett will be publishing his second book about protests in America.

“The Defiant: Protest Movements in Post-Liberal America” will be coming out May 8 and will cover the history of major protests and how America has changed with them.

Barrett has been an associate professor of history at Del Mar for five years. He earned undergrad degree at Portland State University in Oregon and got his master’s and Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. His time in Wisconsin coincided with the a large labor protest in 2011, which he cites as a large influence for his thinking.

This is Barrett’s second book on protests, the first of which, “Teenage Rebels: Stories of Successful High School Activists, From the Little Rock 9 to the Class of Tomorrow,” recounted the history of high school activists from throughout history.

Dawson has been quoted on protests for NBC News and such publications as The Nation and The Atlantic, as well as his writing appearing in Teen Vogue, American Studies and more.

Q: What interests you about protests?

Foghorn News File

Dawson Barrett, a history professor and author of “Teenage Rebels,” spoke with students about the proud traditions of Mexican-American high school activism as part of Hispanic Heritage Month in 2015.

A: My assessment of U.S. history is protests are a major factor in shaping how our society looks and how essentially everything good about our society is because people are willing to protest and make it happen. I am a big cheerleader on activism and people making the changes that they want to see.

Q: With protests like the March for Our Lives, #MeToo, March for Science and more, what do you think is changing about protests?

A: One thing that is clear to me is that if you look at history, there have

always been protests, but they are easier to access with social media.

Twenty years ago, you maybe would have heard about the one in town not the ones across the country. But with Twitter, you see thousands of pictures and stories, which I think helps build protests.

We are also at a moment in U.S. history where there is a lot of frustration with politics and more precisely since the election of Donald Trump. This isn’t a comment on his politics, but one of his strategies to fire his base up is to target groups of people, whether it be famously

Q: What was your inspiration for writing a second book on the topic?

A: Well, they actually go in the reverse order. It’s based off of my dissertation, so this is the book I have been working on for 10 years. Part of the way academic books work is that you send it off to people to read it and make notes and get it peer-reviewed. So while I was waiting for some notes to come back on this book, I wrote my first book in about six months, which goes over some of the topics in my new book, but more from a high school student prospective.

Q: Since you’ve been working on this book for 10 years, there must be something that you want readers to take from it? What was the goal of writing this book?

A: My kind of political awareness came from the war in Iraq. That was happening when I was coming of age politically and made me really curious to understand what was happening. There was a lot of talk

during the time about the war and the protests of the ’60s and I wanted to know how those protests affected things and how that connected to that time.

This is a book geared toward college students and I wanted it to be something that the angry and curious 20-year-old could pick up and learn without having to get a Ph.D.

Q: To save 10 years?

A: [Laughs] Exactly! It is for people who are trying to understand the framework the ideas at the top and the policies, but also the pushback from those. For me, what is so inspiring about teaching history is finding these examples of people who you’d expect to be completely powerless have nonetheless stood up for themselves and pushed back. These are stories that have fallen through the cracks when we talk about the powerful people such as presidents.

I’m more into talking about everyday people.

Q: Do you offer extra credit for students who read the book?

A: [Laughs] No, I don’t think that would be ethical, but I do draw on my research when I teach, so I do think this book is an extension of my class. I think if I did, I’d have some dual-credit students starting protests at their schools and tracing it back to me, which I don’t think would go over well.

Studio Ghibli Fest continues all summer Julieta Hernandez jhernandez@foghornnews.com

As part of its Fathom series, Century 16 in Corpus Christi was able to show a series of Studio Ghibli films for fans across the nation. Many of us already know Studio Ghibli films as popular among pop culture.

In the wake of the passing of the studio’s co-founder, Isao Takahata (October 1935-April 2018) my colleague and I, both Ghibli fans, went to the showing of The Cat Returns; an overrated classic, in my opinion.

If you ever wanted a cross of Usagi Sailor Moon and Sarah from “The Labyrinth,” the main character Haru

from “The Cat Returns” exemplifies both of their worst qualities. Cute movie, yeah, but I just could not get over this bratty, naive school girl trope. I should’ve known it in the beginning when she runs late to school — all she was missing was the piece of toast in her mouth.

During a minor but heroic act of saving a cat from being killed by a truck, Haru finds herself in a whirl of really odd, trivial events.

After being seized by cats and then saved by cats, Haru learns some kind of lesson, we hope?

I remember why I didn’t like this one.

I do, however, anticipate the rest.

Construction goes till March 8 Julieta Hernandez jhernandez@foghornnews.com Students may have noticed the mass of construction materials in the middle of campus beginning to take shape. With the concept design approved in January 2016 and the removal of the old English Building last summer, the completion date for the East Campus project is anticipated for March 8, 2019, according to Velia Balboa, project administrator for Bartlett Cocke & Beecroft, a joint venture.

Balboa said the project has had no notable setbacks; by Aug. 15, 2019, students will be sitting in classes in the brand new complexes.

“A positive step was that we added manpower and have been working overtime,” Balboa said.

She is most excited about the finished project because it “will be a beautiful building.”

According to Chris Shull, assistant construction manager for

AGCM, a construction management and estimating firm that takes part in the project, the estimated month for construction completion on East Campus was previously February 2019. He also mentioned factors that could interrupt the completion date, such as inclement weather changes.

The $45,393,000 project on the General Academic Complex and Music Phase II, not including additional costs for demolition and administration, has been steadily following its master schedule, according to the public information timeline on the Del Mar website.

West Campus construction, he said, is a different story; because of the different building styles, like the use of steel foundations on the West Campus project, the process varies.

The new workforce development center, which began construction on April 17 of last year, is expected to be completed and holding classes by January 2019.

Trust us, journalists know coffee Let us inspire you to try a new type of fresh brew for finals Foghorn staff news@foghornnews.com

Around this time of the semester, all everyone is thinking about is finals stress: studying, averaging grades, looking for extra credit opportunities. Nobody has time to sleep. Thankfully, that’s why someone out there invented caffeine … for the disgruntled college student who hasn’t slept more than four hours in the past week. These are some of our favorites at the Foghorn office that make it possible for us to push for our deadlines.

From some of the best places to get coffee like Coffee Waves, Green Light and Starbucks to our favorite blends like espressos, drip coffee and matcha, let us inspire you to make your next cup a new experience.

JULIETA HERNANDEZ

So, my favorite coffee for finals isn’t really coffee­—it’s hot green matcha with coconut milk. It’s only $4 for a hearty glass, hot or iced, homemade and refreshing green tea. I always get it at Green Light Coffee downtown, along with one of their cute little vegan donuts or something. It’s the only thing that can dissolve my stress during finals without giving me TOO much energy, like actual coffee. Coffee is reserved for mornings.

JOSSELYN OBREGON

Me gusta el café de latinoamérica por su olor y sabor a frutas; Island Joe's Coffee on South Padre Island. Homemade coffee … es un lugar perfecto para relajarte tiene gallery fotográfica y el ambiente es amigable al lado de la playa del sur de Texas. La preparacion del cafe es como hecho en casa.

MATTHEW TAMEZ

Cafe Calypso … just straight espresso shots. They’re strong, and bitter, and I really really like bitter stuff. I’ll see if I can figure out what bean they use.

Because that’s a thing.

MIA GANCERES

Right now my favorite is the Hazelnut Mocha Coconut Milk Macchiato from Starbucks.

The espresso brings the bold flavor out, especially if you do it with bold shots. But with the hazelnut and the mocha it brings out a sweet flavor. Especially if you get it iced.

JAYLYN GARCIA

Dairy Queen has moo lattes that are good! It has ice cream, cocoa fudge, caramel, coffee and whipped cream.

JONATHAN GARCIA

My favorite would have to be the H-E-B Cafe Ole Taste of San Antonio blend. I brew

it at home and it’s a taste of cinnamon mixed with chocolate and vanilla. It’s my go-to choice for finals -- I can stay awake and enjoy a nice hot beverage while I’m trying to cram away for my government final.

Summer classes made easy Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com

Del Mar College’s Northwest Center offers students a chance to get ahead with summer courses.

Located in Calallen, classes often are at a low number in the summer, but Northwest Center program coordinator Mario Flores helps get the word out about these courses that are available for students.

“We’re wanting to push these programs to benefit those students so they don’t have to drive in for a class at East and West Campus,” Flores said.

Flores said students drive in from Alice, Taft, Odem and other surrounding areas to take classes there, which he calls “the hub” of areas and is saves time and miles.

The Northwest Center offers credit courses consisting of English, government, sociology, college algebra for first summer session, and English and math courses for the second session, Flores said. It also offers continuing education programs for the summer.

“They consist of phlebotomy, EKG and nurse aid certification,” he said. Flores added that these courses have different starting dates and times due to clinical and will all fill up quick during the summer.

“The good thing about the CNA health care program is that students must have that certification in order to go on,” Flores said.

Students can also take these certification programs before entering the registered nurse program as long as they pass the course, according to Flores.

In addition to helping college students, Flores said, high school students can also take these summer courses at the Northwest Center after passing the TSI. “If they’re wanting to catch up or get an extra class, those students can take a summer course here,” he said.

New GIS camp gets girls involved Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com Del Mar College’s GIS program will fly into summer with activities and courses that will grab student’s attention.

GIS instructor J.J. Nelson said Del Mar will be offering summer courses for the GIS/UAS including a GUAS 2071 continuing education course where students and staff can earn their FAA Part 107 license. Classes are set to begin at the end of May and run through July, and once finished students can take their 107 license test at the computer-aided training facility in Aransas Pass airport.

“That’s the driving deal is to get students and staff to get their license,” Nelson said. Students can also use flight simulators in the GIS lab to practice flying and prepare for getting their 107 license.

Nelson also added that there will be a fee to pay for the course for under $100 and offers a special deal if you pass the course.

“If they pass with a B or better, they can pay a fee and convert it to a college credit if they choose,” he stated. Nelson encouraged anyone interested in the course to contact him at jnelson1@delmar.edu.

Summer thrills on the big screen

Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson, left), Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), Dash (Huck Milner), Jack-Jack and Violet (Sarah Vowell) fight to save the world once again in “Incredibles 2.” After a 14-year wait, the sequel finally hits theaters on June 15.

Superheroes, capers and a giant shark kick off the movie season Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com Between wisecracking mercs, dinosaurs, giant sharks and a family of superheroes, this summer looks to be a perfect times to head out the movies. These are the nine flicks that are set to heat up the box office and aim to capture audiences while enjoying their popcorn.

‘DEADPOOL 2’ (May 18)

‘SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY’ (May 25)

‘UPGRADE’ (June 1)

‘OCEAN’S 8’ (June 8)

‘DEADPOOL 2’ (May 18) Ryan Reynolds returns as the “Merc with a Mouth” Deadpool in the sequel to the 2016 smash hit that took audiences by storm.

A powerful time-traveling soldier known as Cable (Josh Brolin) hunts down a young mutant (Julian Dennison), which results in Deadpool fighting to stop him from trying to take the kid.

To stop Cable and save the kid, Deadpool forms the group known as “X-Force” and with his fellow taxi driver friend Dopinder (Karan Soni) tries to stop the time-traveling mercenary and save the kid the only way Deadpool can.

Director David Letch (“Atomic Blonde”) takes on the sequel with Reynolds writing the script alongside Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to deliver a sequel that promises to be bigger and better than the first.

‘SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY’ (May 25) This is the story of how Han Solo (Aiden Ehrenreich) became the expert pilot of the Millennium Falcon alongside his Wookie partner Chewbacca.

The film tells the story of Solo’s beginnings as part of a crew of gangsters with Tobias Beckett (Woody Harrelson) where Solo encounters smuggler Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover).

But what makes this film highly anticipated was the story behind its troubled production.

“The LEGO Movie” directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller backed out of the film because of creative differences with Lucasfilm, resulting in Ron Howard taking over. Ehrenreich also has huge shoes to fill as Solo, who was originally portrayed and made memorable by Harrison Ford.

From the two trailers released, the film looks to be a promising entry in the Star Wars canon.

‘UPGRADE’ (June 1) “Prometheus” star Logan Marshall-Green gets a new “Upgrade” in this latest science-fiction action flick written and directed by Leigh Whannell.

After his wife was brutally murdered, Grey Trace (Green) is left paralyzed and his life turned upside down. A mysterious inventor offers Trace a second chance by implanting a chip inside his body known as STEM giving not him only the

ability to walk again, but superhuman strength and agility.

With his new abilities, Trace sets out to find the ones responsible for his wife’s murder and avenge her death.

The film is produced by Blumhouse, the company responsible for such films as “Get Out,” and “Happy Death Day.” With a unique concept and trailer where there are people who can fire guns from the palm of their hands … literally, this film looks to be a huge and exciting risk for Blumhouse.

‘OCEAN’S 8’ (June 8) The Ocean’s series returns, but this time around it stars a cast of strong female leads to bring this heist comedy back to form.

Danny Ocean’s estranged sister Debbie (Sandra Bullock) gets released from prison and shortly after plans to do what she’s good at, which is pulling off a heist. With the help of her close friend Lou (Cate Blanchett), they assemble a crew to pull off the heist of the century at the Met Gala in New York City.

Director Gary Ross takes on the female-led “Ocean’s” flick to have it stand on its own in the series made famous by Steven Soderbergh. And with the star power of Bullock, Blanchett, Anne Hathaway and Rihanna, this is one heist film that you don’t want to miss.

‘INCREDIBLES 2’ (June 15) After a 14-year wait, the Parr family returns to the big screen after a huge demand for a sequel to be brought to light by Disney and Pixar.

The Parr family continues to try to live a normal life while Helen (Holly Hunter) continues to fight crime and campaign to bring “supers” back into a positive light, leaving her husband, Bob (Craig T. Nelson), to care for their children.

When a new villain known as the Screenslaver threatens the world, they must band together to save the planet.

After the huge success of the first film in 2004, many people were itching for Pixar to make this sequel happen. And now that a summer release is certain, many will pack the theaters to see the Parr family fight to save the world again.

‘JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM’ (June 22) Life finds a way once again in the sequel to the 2015 smash hit starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard.

Four years after the destruction of Jurassic World, Owen Grady (Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Howard) return to Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano that’s about to erupt.

They soon discover a conspiracy going on in the remains of the park that threatens the entire planet.

J.A. Bayona, known for directing “The Impossible,” takes over directorial duties from Colin Trevorrow, who now serves as

one the writers of the sequel.

With intense action and the return of Jeff Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm, this is one sequel that is set to be bigger than the T-Rex itself.

‘ANT MAN AND THE WASP’ (July 6) Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly team up as Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne, also known as the titular superheroes created

by Marvel Comics.

After the events of “Captain America: Civil War,” Scott tries to balance his life as a father while at the same time being Ant-Man. When Hope and her father, Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), present Scott with a mission that brings secrets from their past to light, he and Hope team up as Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Peyton Reed returns once again to direct the film after the first film took everyone by surprise.

The world is faced with dire consequences when one IMF mission ends badly, and Ethan plans to take it upon himself to finish the original briefing.

This results in him in a race against time being hunted down by assassins, allies and the CIA including agent August Walker (Henry Cavill) while trying to prevent global catastrophe.

Each film has a different director, but this time around Christopher McQuarrie returns as both writer and director. With each film improving on the last, Cruise once again shows audiences that he still has it in him in his 50s. This is the first entry to be filmed in 3-D. ‘THE MEG’ (Aug. 10) Action star Jason Statham faces off against his biggest foe yet, a 75-foot-long shark otherwise known as the Megalodon.

The Meg attacks a deep-sea submarine disabling it, leaving a crew at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is tasked to rescue the crew and also the ocean itself from The Meg and must find a way to defeat it.

Based on the novel by Steve Alten, “National Treasure” director Jon Turteltaub is tasked to bring this science fiction horror flick on the big screen.

With Statham’s charisma and the comedic timing of Rainn Wilson, this is one shark flick that will have audiences on the edge of their seats. @jonathan10894

Review

‘Westworld’ returns with second season Series continues answering questions after the first outing Azrael Montoya amontoya@foghornnews.com Season 2 of the sci-fi fantasy series “Westworld,” subtitled “The Door,” picks up right where the first season ended. Showrunners and writers Lisa Joy and Johnathan Nolan wasted no time after answering all the conspiracies and cliffhangers in Season 1.

Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), the founder and creative director of Westworld, is now dead thanks to the gun of Dolores Abernathy, played by Evan Rachel Wood. Dolores is one of the oldest hosts in Westworld.

“Journey into Night,” the title for this episode, comes from the name of Ford’s new narrative he wanted to tell. At the start of the episode Dolores has massacred all of the humans the night before at the gala held in Ford’s honor. With the help of Theodore Flood, another one of the oldest hosts, she searches the park for the remaining human survivors.

Teddy and Dolores’ romance was expounded upon in Season 1.

Ford’s villain for his new story (of course before he was shot) was named Wyatt, an outlaw in the fictional town of Sweetwater where Dolores lives.

As the episode moves steadily along Dolores finds a group of survivors from the gala and tells them she’s a new woman. It is revealed earlier that Ford built her long ago and in the process fused the Wyatt personality with hers. She has evolved immensely and has bigger plans for the survivors. After so long now she gets to play god and make her version of her story.

Elsewhere we find out that the Man in Black, played by Ed Harris, survived the massacre. After telling Dolores about her memories and narrative loop (being her husband, William), he is still traveling the far expanses of the park trying to find meaning. It came to light earlier in the series the Man in Black was the aged William (a younger William revealed to be flashbacks) who was a reluctant guest at Westworld.

Jeffrey Wright portrays Bernard Lowe in HBO’s “Westworld.” Based on the 1973 film of the same name by Michael Crichton, the show premiered its second season April 22.

Dr. Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) takes shelter with Charlotte Hale, the executive director of the corporation Delos in a secret Delos Bunker lab. The Delos Corporation runs Westworld and gave Ford funding for all his pet projects. Hale and Lowe are waiting for the cavalry to arrive.

Also we pick up immediately with another host, Maeve Millay, played by Thandie Newton. The entire team in Westworld facility has been murdered. There’s blood everywhere as Mauve is responsible with the help of Armistice and Hector, two other hosts who play different roles in Westworld. All systems in the facility are shut down as many of the hosts have escaped. They have been reprogrammed to hunt the humans. In effect the hosts have taken over in a fit of dramatic irony.

Maeve finds Lee Sizemore in all the mess and enlists his help so she can find her daughter (from a previous narrative in Westworld). Lee is the narrative director and he’s the one who writes all the stories for the theme park. Simon Quartermane is excellent in this role as he brings an intelligent persona and humor to the series.

There are numerous aspects to like about “Journey into Night” and the series as a whole. Nolan and Lisa Joy do an excellent job commentating about the complexities of the human mind (brief reminder of “Inception).

The guests who go to Westworld are rich and can engage in whatever fantasy they like.

Westworld shows these guests a reality without limits in anything -- killing, sex orgies and rape if they so choose.

It was Ford’s dream and goal to discover the limits of consciousness. That was his goal in creating Dolores so she can find who she really is and attain godlike status. Lee says earlier in the series, “Our guests will get to know the character they’re most interested in, themselves.”

Ford takes value in human suffering because as he says that’s when you’re most real.

He knew the park Westworld was all a lie and that the maze meant nothing, but it’s all in how you tell the good lie. He plays God with his creations because the most divine invention is the brain. He had Dolores run on an endless loop repeatedly playing the same role because she needed to listen to her own voice. Ford knew that human beings would exploit the hosts so he designed a mechanism to

Concert and flicks by the bay

Bay Jammin Concert and Cinema series kicks of 29th season Jonathan Garcia jgarcia@foghornnews.com

Family flicks and cool tunes arrive just in time for summer with the 29th annual Bay Jammin Concert and Cinema Series at Cole Park.

Established in 1989, the series is put together by Del Mar College GIS professor J.J. Nelson and the city’s parks department, which every summer offer a variety of styles of music every Thursday and a movie every Friday evening.

“We do a little bit of everything.

Our motto is all kinds of music for all kinds of people,” Nelson said.

Although the bands have yet to be booked, Nelson said it will include genres from blues, rock, reggae and punk just to name a few, with both original and cover bands.

The film series was added in 2003 and has been a welcome addition to the Bay Jammin series. The movies are shown every Friday at sundown and are family friendly films that consists of mostly animated flicks.

“We found that if the little kids are happy, then the family is happy,’’ Nelson said.

The most memorable part of the series, according to Nelson, is getting people to come together and interact with one another.

“This takes us back to the good old days with family and friends at a beautiful park to watch a movie or concert,” he said.

Admission is free. The concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays from June to August, and the film series begins at sundown every Friday from June to August at Cole Park Anderson Amphitheater. For more information, call 361-8263417 or check out the Bay Jammin Concert and Cinema Series on Facebook.

Team fights back from early loss to claim championship Jaylyn Garcia jgarcia2@foghornnews.com In a double elimination three-on-three basketball intramural tournament, five teams did their best to dribble their way to victory.

After losing an early game, team Life worked their way through the bracket to make a comeback. Game by game, Life made it back to the main draw and faced the undefeated team Most Hated.

After an incredibly close

game team, Life seized the championship 18-17.

“Our team’s biggest strength is passing the ball well, communicating and making sure you can get open on the court,” said Life team member Trevon Favors.

Although it was a team effort, every player was focused on what they could do to help their teammates.

“My focus during the game was on rebounding the ball and getting put-backs,” said Robert Irving from Life.

Both teams were evenly matched and after being neck and neck the entire game, Life took the title despite losing early in the competition.

Robert Waters (violin), Rebecca McFaul (violin), Bradley Ottesen (viola) and Anne Francis Bayless (cello) of the Fry Street Quartet play both selected and original pieces as part of the Crossroads performance on April 24.

Prose, art, music as an ode to Earth Crossroads event gets audience to focus on preservation of planet Julieta Hernandez jhernandez@foghornnews.com Just how much do we know about our island planet, and ourselves? Not as much as we may have thought.

The Crossroads project, a visual and auditory environmental experience, performed at the Richardson Performance Hall at Del Mar College on April 24, just three days after Earth Day. Reviewed in the past by the Boston Globe and

The New York Times, the presentation revealed shocking statistics in the silent auditorium.

The visual aid to climate physicist Robert Davies’ prose speech included minimalist infographics with the numbers to prove it: the seabird population going down 70 perent since the ’50s, deforestation increasing 50 percent since the ’70s, 6,000 plastic bags being used by humans every five seconds, etc.

“All is not well on the oceans … and all is not well on land,” Davies said.

The 75-minute performance included mixed intervals of Davies speaking and iminate vio-

lin and cello by the Fry String Quartet, composed of violinists Robert Waters and Rebecca McFaul, violist Bradley Ottesen, and cellist Anne Francis Bayless, who filled the room as eco-art and photography was projected behind them.

The harmoniously stimulating string performances included original pieces by Laura Kaminsky and Libby Larsen, in addition to pieces by Franz Joseph Haydn and Leoš Janáček.

Presenter and former NASA collaborator Davies spoke about biodiversity as a “community of overlapping guilts,” as well as different points on water, plastic, climate

change, etc.

“Whole ecosystems are able to collapse,” he mentioned, “as they have five times before,” all triggered by an chaotic change in climate.

During the talk-back session after the performance, Davies and the string quartet sat at the end of the stage to engage with the audience as a microphone was passed around for questions and comments.

“Professor, you left me on nirvana; you wanted me to leave on a happy note,” said Maclovio Perez, broadcast meteorologist for KRIS 6 News, during his inquiry to the team on the grave seriousness

on the political connotation fossil fuels and those who encourage the use.

Davies replied with saying that although calling out the “bad guys” is more than imperative, he wanted to leave viewers with a “resolved note” and the premise that change is possible.

“What I’m hoping this performance does is make us think: What are we going to do?” he said.

DMC nursing students educate on different illnesses Del Mar nursing students hosted a health fair to educate students on the different types of concepts they have learned over the semester.

The Harvin Center was lined with all sorts of interactive booths that talked about numerous illnesses.

One booth in particular was able to simulate how

it feels to have an asthma attack, and how your body reacts accordingly.

The students were able to show multiple students what they had learned over the semester.

The event was able to give students a broader understanding of how the human body reacts to certain situations.

Editorial

Watts should stay out of race

District 4 Regent Guy Watts stepped down from his seat recently with the intention of running for an At-Large position this November. After a tumultuous term full of controversy, Watts should instead step away from the spotlight.

Watts’ problems began in 2014, when he said Del Mar had become a “sea of mediocrity” after targeting immigrant and poor students. He has also said the college is “swamped” by “unprepared” and “remedial” students, while attempting to back up his claims with correlations between financial aid grants, illegal immigration and an increasing Hispanic population statewide.

He has also advocated for the new southside campus to be reserved for the highest academic achievers, whom he says live largely on the southside, Padre Island and in Flour Bluff.

On top of these claims, Watts has repeatedly broken numerous bylaws and has had four censures against him, which are the highest punishment a regent can receive from the board, although it has no real consequences. The college has also spent $16,000 investigating him.

Watts’ time on the board was one that did no good other than garner ill will of many people, including the other regents.

A major reason he should step away is that Watts’ language is often coded racism.

He has said a large part of the immigrant and poor students are “unprepared.” He also has suggested segregating the unprepared and remedial students from the southside campus. These highest academic achievers, however, largely live on the southside, Padre Island and Flour Bluff — or as it happens to be, the parts of town with the most white people.

Emily Jasso/Foghorn News

He has recently begun advocating for a northside campus, which at his last meeting this April he said would help “those kids” that he knew from when he used to play basketball with them.

Del Mar is a primarily Hispanic serving institution that has provided affordable education for students of all races and ethnicities.

One of the aspects that makes Del Mar a great college experience is that you are thrown into an environment where it doesn’t matter if you are a fresh high school graduate or a 35-year-old mom trying to

start a new career. Trying to split people up instead of giving everyone a fair shot goes against the ideals of what a good college should stand for.

Many of his supporters claim that he is good as he brings another viewpoint to the board and that his ideas are OK under free speech. We are not saying he shouldn’t voice his opinions and never have, but that doesn’t mean his viewpoints are good.

Having a different viewpoint on the budget is one thing, but a viewpoint that tries to keep people from going to school is another.

Luckily Watts was the sole board member advocating for these things, but nonetheless, his record aside from that shows one of clear disregard for the board and the way it works. He hasn’t been a good board member by any means, and the college is spending money, which could go to helping students, to investigate a person who shows no remorse for his constant wrongdoings.

Overall, voters should reject Watts if he runs in November. His rhetoric is not one that should represent the college and one that has not and will not help the college in any way, shape or form.

“That’s not right, if that’s what you’re looking for. My thought was that it was good that they were going to have something out there, that’s way closer for people who live in that area.”

— Bianca Ramos, nursing

Should the southside campus be specifically reserved for the highest academic achievers?

“Probably yes just because since they’re higher in level that maybe it should be having to do with being dedicated to them.”

— Gabriel Hinojosa, nutrition “I don’t think that’s fair. I mean for me I think it would be nice to have a campus closer to my house, instead of having to drive all the way over here” — Hector Salazar, chemical engineering

“No, if you’re going to make another campus then they should be accessible to everybody just like the other two campuses are.”

— Jaquet Hagans, biology/business administration

“I feel like segregating students based on their academic qualities is something that they do in universities, and in other schools. I feel like people like Del Mar College because it has such a basic level of understanding that everyone can come and get an education.”

— Ryan Garza, radio/television

“It’s foolish. I think anything like that is foolish. It’s called community college for a reason — you’re supposed to commune. Not like someone is better than me so they get a nicer campus, or anyone getting any special treatment is never a good idea.”

— Cris Olvera, radio/television “I do not believe so because a southside campus would be easily accessible for people who live in my area, so I believe it should be open to everyone.”

— Israel Deal, computer programming

“I really don’t know. I haven’t really heard much about it.”

— John Williams, programming

“That’s very discriminatory, and it not fair to the people who live out there. So you’re telling me they’re going to fill it up with a bunch of kids who have a certain GPA, and then all the kids who do live around that area have to drive over there and waste gas money?”
