t’s another hectic lunchtime and the cafeteria is buzzing with the sound of loud chatter and noisy blenders mixing drinks in the Jamba Juice corner.

These lines never end up being too long as the people behind the counter seem to work quickly. The doors are constantly swinging open as workers come to add more food to the front counter.

“People don’t realize how much effort we actually put into keeping everything looking good,” said Dee Martinez, a Jamba Juice employee.

Sodexo is FC’s food service provider and is in charge of the different food stations in the cafeteria, Stinger’s Cafe and even caters for campus events.

“The school gets six percent of everything we sell,” said Matt Bergendahl, executive chef.

Workers do not belong to just one work-station. They are moved around freely and can be prepping the food in the kitchen one day and preparing smoothies the next.

“I’m not just a part of Jamba Juice…sometimes I even have to cook,” Martinez said. “We all actually work for Sodexo but we do have the brand on us to franchise Jamba Juice.”

Sodexo upholds a strict set of safety regulations that is enforced in all parts of the kitchen and the restaurants. According to Martinez, because Jamba Juice is under Sodexo’s ownership, it is held to higher expectations than other locations.

Martinez mentioned that managers from other Jamba Juice locations come in pretending to be regular customers in order to evaluate how this particular Jamba Juice is doing.

“There are definitely consequences to things that go wrong so that’s why regulations are enforced pretty hard,” said Christopher Zaldivar, a closing supervisor for Sodexo.

Zaldivar emphasizes good communication as the key for maintaining a comfortable work environment. [see Employees on page 3]

The Quad was lit up with the placement of numerous tables filled with an array of colorful headscarves.

This event held on March 12 and 13 was an effort by the Muslim Student Association to help clear up any misconceptions about the hijab, a commonly used Arabic word for headscarf.

“Today we are trying to raise awareness [about the hijab] and to let people know what it really represents,” said Dania Mohammad, secretary of MSA. The event allowed any one walking by to choose a hijab, try it on and take it home.

Mohammad has been wearing the hijab for a little over three months. She made the decision to put it on after receiving many forms of unwanted attention from the opposite sex.

“I would get all kinds of looks from guys checking out my body. The amount of respect I got after putting it on was amazing,” Mohammad said.

The Fullerton College MSA has been planning this for a few months and is hoping to continue this event onto the upcoming Fall semester as well.

“In the Quran it does say that we should wear it when one hits puberty but ultimately it’s your choice,” Mohammad said.

When asked about the kind of reactions and responses they have been receiving from FC students regarding the table, Heba Sairafe, MSA president said that they have all been positive so far.

“I’m Muslim but I don’t usually wear the hijab. I have been thinking about it so this was the perfect opportunity, said Camille Reta, Psychology major.

MSA got the idea for this gathering after the University of California, Irvine’s Muslim Student Union held a similar event.

Instructor leads drought efforts

How dry is California?

->2013 was the

driest year on record with 2014 projected to be even drier.

->California will demand three times more groundwater than it can supply over the next 100 years.

A water conservation project brings insight onto California’s insufficient water supply.

HUGO FLORES Hornet Reporter

Despite the recent rains, California has been stuck in the middle of its driest year on record. The state has been urging its residents to cut back on their water usage.

But for one Fullerton College instructor, people are not making an effort in proportion to the current crisis.

Sean Chameberlin,

oceanography instructor, has been very active in organizing drought prevention efforts at FC. He took things in his own hands and put together a water conservation project with FC students. They even created a video titled, “No Water, No Lawn,” which can be found on YouTube.

The video focuses on the need for drought tolerant plants on our lawns and the way it can help with the water conservation effort in California. He makes the point clear that if we make a small step in changing the way we see our lawns, we can benefit in preserving water.

“California is experiencing the worst drought in our state’s

history and Gov. Jerry Brown is asking every Californian to take extra steps to use water wisely,” said Chester A. Widom, California state architect, in a letter to district officials. “I am asking school districts to lead by example in water conservation and water efficiency efforts.”

Chamberlin claims that in a survey he conducted with his students, results indicated that people are aware of the problem and know the basic steps on preserving water. However, when asked to change their water wasting habits, students seemed to have a different mind set.

“Students need an organization where they can unite together and remind other students that

3

changing their water habits can benefit California.”

Chamberlin continues on to say that the school needs to do more to help out with the state’s water woes. According to Chamberlin, by creating a habit of water conservation we will be prepared when faced with extreme droughts.

“At the end of the day we all work together so we need really good communication between all of us,” Zaldivar said. “That way if someone needs help they need to know that someone can handle it.”

Martinez noted that their good communication also stemmed from just working in such a close space.

“It’s very open. We don’t mind reminding others that they forgot to do something. It’s not embarrassing to tell each other. We just do it,” Martinez said.

“As time went on, we started knowing where people would be. We knew how our co-workers work in this environment and your bodies sort of just get adjusted to it,” Martinez said. “After a while we got used to how each of us work.”

As a result, they have created close bonds between each other. Most people work seven to eight hours a day, Monday through Friday.

“Not only is the environment here open but you can interact with your colleagues and have fun with them too,” Martinez said.

However, what makes Sodexo’s work environment different from others is that it has people of all ages and backgrounds coming together.

“I work eight hours a day but this is normal for me. I have a young son so my husband and I both have to work,” said Norma Valdez, an employee of The Grille.

“I have a really good relationship with everyone. You get to talk to people and get to know them. The day doesn’t end up being too much.”

MSA: stories of the veil

Sairafe hopes that by allowing nonMuslims a chance to become familiarized with the hijab they will be able to clear up any misunderstandings about it. They also hope to answer any questions people may have regarding the headscarf.

“Growing up with it [hijab] I learned to love it,” Sairafe said.

Sairafe’s journey with the hijab was not a simple one. Her mom was against it at first because she thought Sairafe was too young to fully understand the impacts of the headscarf but she put it on regardless.

When asked how she felt about the many Muslim women who do not cover their hair, Sairafe claims that every women should have a choice on the matter and no one has the right to point fingers.

“It is an obligation in Islam for women to wear hijab. However, we don’t play the role of judging anyone, God does,” Mohammad said.

The MSA meets every Tuesday in Room 313 from 1-2 p.m.

Yearning for an equal voice

The administrators need to be more responsive to a growing and diverse student population.

Most people wouldn’t consider the traditional ways lectures are taught to be problematic; it’s been a constant throughout the majority of our education and to those that have no reason to, they don’t bother to question it.

But what about those that have reason to think twice about it and are bothered by their lack of recognition in the world, especially when it comes to education?

We have always been taught what was most prevalent in society, negating the existence minorities in the process.

We’re always told that a man will fall in love with a woman, and one day he’ll ask for her hand in marriage.

But what happens when that’s not the case?

Society is changing and our education should change with it.

The number of states that have currently legalized marriage equality stands at 18, Michigan being the most recent.

However, members of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans and Queer community continue to lack representation in the

classrooms.

Heteronormativity, the assumption that we are all heterosexual by default, is pervasive in the school environment and is erasing the identities of those that don’t fit within the category in the process.

This assumption is damaging to many within the LGBTQ community and people still don’t believe that members of the community are as prevalent in society as they really are.

With on-going changes made to state laws and the slow-coming acceptance of gay rights within our nation, more queer voices that were once silent due to fear are making themselves heard.

The implementation of a safe space program on Fullerton College’s campus will help students feel more secure and teach professors how to be more inclusive in their practices.

“We need the safe space program to create a safer and healthier environment for LGBTQ students,” said Lani Kai Arriaga, ICC rep of LAMBDA, our local LGBTQ club on campus. “This will ensure strength through unity between both the gay and straight students and well as faculty, promoting compassion through solidarity”.

Safe space will help create a positive learning environment for LGBTQ students by educating the staff on new ways to approach scenarios and fix old and sometimes unintentionally harmful ways of speaking.

Currently, instructors are able to create their own curriculum and set their own standard. Should the program be put in place, one would hope that they make the decision to educate themselves on such matters and take the step towards helping students feel less alienated in the classroom.

LAMBDA recently presented the idea to the diversity committee who approved the idea and requested that they do more for the cause.

However, there is still the issue of when and how this might happen. The administration is urged not to wait.

We should get our house in order before we wreck someone else’s The search for aliens continues, but what will we do when we find them?

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration recently discovered seven hundred and fifteen new planets using the Kepler space telescope, which launched into space in 2009.

Four of those planets are in a habitable zone, which could support life. It is by far the largest discovery of its kind, and brings to mind what would happen if we found intelligent life on another planet?

“The more we explore the more we find familiar traces of ourselves amongst the stars that remind us of home,” said Jason Rowe, a research scientist and coleader of the research team at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California.

Since the beginning of human history, mankind has always asked the question if we are alone or not, but it was always put to rest to concentrate on our Earthly

ERIK EDLUND Guest Contributor

problems. After so many wars and sacrifices, of course human beings are better off now than they were in the past, but we as humans still can’t get entirely along with others.

Why should we search for other intelligent life on another planet?

We still have to deal with a world full of bigotry, racism, sexism, and unequal rights. Humans just can’t seem to accept one another and the fighting and arguing just seems like it’ll never end. It baffles me that humans are so interested in finding new life when we still have so many things to overcome here on Earth.

It really scares me to think that if we find life on another planet our human past will come back into play.

Will we use these aliens as slaves? Will we become power hungry and commit another holocaust and exterminate their

race to take over their planet? Will we put up segregation signs stating that they have to use different drinking fountains and bathrooms? Humans are known as a vicious species and highly territorial.

I understand the curiosity of finding new life, but until we can overcome our differences finding new life should be out of the question.

If they’re intelligent and have superior technology than us and we commit atrocious acts of violence on them that they could retaliate and hurt us how we hurt them.

Humans need to be very careful with what we’re dealing with because this isn’t a Hollywood movie. Life is a gift, and from what we can tell, intelligent life is even rarer. Let’s be thankful we’re here today and accept one another. Then maybe we can accept other intelligent life when the time is right.

Erik Edlund is a Fullerton College student majoring in history.

Progress will not wait for us to be ready The search for intelligent life needs to continue despite our preparedness.

The Kepler Telescope developed

by NASA is one of the most adept instruments that man has ever created to look through our solar system in an attempt to uncover habitable planets or even life on another planet.

Scientists have determined that there are Earth-like planets within the realm of our solar system.

According to NewScientist.com, the amount of Earth-like planets is the closest projection they could make because they are still analyzing what is orbiting in space.

Unfortunately, even with the highly efficient $600 million device, we are still unclear as to whether or not there is indeed life on any of these other planets.

It is narrow sighted to think that we are alone in this vast Universe.

With NASA’s latest reports, it is not a question whether we find life, but how to handle it if found. It is critical that we continue to advance science and technology here in the United States.

To impede our scientific progress at this point would be a terrible mistake. I

JASON BURCH Hornet Reporter

do not buy the argument that NASA is a budgetary burden, considering we spend more per year on our defense budget than we have spent over the past two decades on our exploration program.

Life on other planets is a fascinating yet terrifying concept for many to contemplate.

Some think that we are just not ready for such a concept.

Ready or not, I believe that we will find life beyond Earth and when we do, it will forever change our existence.

All of the reasons to abandon our search, are based upon fear.

Fear of repeating the same mistakes we have made in the past, of what we might find, and of what it might force us to do or consider.

One of the most critical points that will be brought to light has to do with faith.

Finding life on another planet could force people to rethink their faith. Forcing people to rethink or re-evaluate their faith has never been an easy task. History has taught us this.

The advancement of science has been met with extreme opposition in the past.

Galileo, one of the earliest astronomers, was met with stern and fierce opposition by the Catholic Church.

I like to think we have evolved and learned from that fearful and ignorant logic that was used 4,000 years ago.

It is 2014 and luckily today, we have moved past this type of misguided decision making.

We understand that science like astronomy is nothing to be feared, but something to be studied.

We should not just sit by idle and leave the Universe to the imagination.

If there is something else out there in space, it would behoove us to know what we are dealing with, whether it is a threat, resources, or even a habitable planet with similar organisms to what we experience here on Earth.

There is absolutely no way turning a blind eye to our solar system is the appropriate action to take now.

Let us leave our prejudice, our fear, and all other horrible social practices in the past where they belong.

Support for the advancement of science is tantamount to the growth of our nation and our society.

To wear or not to wear NUR SATTAR News Editor

when we examine the discrimination many women with hijabs still face in the workplace, it is apparent that the voice of this girl still echoes.

The New York Times reported on September 2010 that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal law enforcement agency filed a case against Abercrombie and Fitch for refusing to hire an 18 year old Muslim girl because she was wearing the hijab, the retailer also faced a similar lawsuit the year before that.

Disney reacted similarly when a previous Disneyland hostess decided to start wearing the headscarf and in return her employers told her that if she wishes to wear the hijab, she would be removed from her current position and have to work in the back or at a telephone job.

The hijab is a sign of devotion but it can also be a heavy burden to bear. When you put on the headscarf you are automatically representing Islam to everyone around you. You will get questions, you will be subject to stares and you will be judged based on your appearance.

Many women hardly understand themselves, especially when they are young. They hardly know the kind of person they want to be and to immediately become a public symbol for Islam every time they put on the hijab can be tough.

F COUNTERPOINT

The hijab is often referred to as a traditional headscarf which many Muslim women wear to express their devotion to Islam. However, this headscarf is largely a tradition.

Growing up in a Muslim household, my mother prayed five times a day and followed every other pillar of Islam yet she did not wear the hijab. Therefore, I did not grow up with this tradition and to me it was not a necessary part of my spiritual connection with God. I am not undermining the efforts of the large masses of Muslims who choose to wear the headscarf, they are outwardly expressing their Muslim identity.

However, being so expressive about one’s connection to Islam is not so easily taken in this country.

The world has 1.6 billion people and it’s the second largest religion in the world, according to the Pew Research Center.

Yet Muslims continue to be stigmatized based on the actions of a few. Living in the United States anti-Muslim sentiments are not uncommon.

Looking back to my seventh grade physical education class, I remember overhearing a girl, who I thought was my friend and who I shared many good times with, saying to another, “Muslims can’t be good Americans.”

This girl chose to point out that the words Muslim and American can never by synonymous. She is mixing religion and state, two things which are meant to be kept separate.

One should not have to compromise their religion to be patriotic. However,

“It’s scary to know that the police aren’t doing what they are supposed to be doing, it makes me concerned about our safety here on campus since we are so close.”

Tattoos and bikinis are usually seen as stylish and trendy, but a woman’s choice to cover her hair is always seen as a controversial issue. Nonetheless, it is a choice.

Hijab in Arabic means barrier or veil and it represents one of the foundations of Islam; modesty.

This type of commitment needs inner strength and fortitude to hang on to.

It may be challenging to face society’s misconceptions about the hijab but the great reward of paradise is worth all sacrifices.

Muslim women are not the only ones who cover their hair. The Virgin Mary was portrayed wearing a veil thousands of years ago. Even now, Nuns wear “Habits” and Jews wear “Tzniut” which are pretty similar to the concept of the headscarf.

The hijab is a divine mandate by Allah.

There are verses from the Quran that emphasizes the concept of modesty and decency when interacting with members of the opposite sex.

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof ” (An-Nur 24:31).

This does not only consist of a scarf that covers the head, the neck and the bosom.

Women should also refrain from wearing tight clothing and keep the rest of their body covered with loose garments.

In public, Muslim women are liberated from being seen as sexual objects or being valued by their look or body shape. They

are instead valued for their minds and intellect.

At home, it is permissible for Muslim women to do their hair, put on makeup and wear nice clothes and jewelry in front of close family and other women as well. Between the wife and the husband there are no drawbacks or limits when it comes to what a women must wear.

Hijab is my identity. It has become a part of me. It’s practical for me to wear it everyday and everywhere. I can even change my style for different events by changing colors and the fabrics to fit my clothes.

Public opinion after Sept. 11 brings many challenges to American Muslims.

Especially concerning the hijab. Walking down the streets, shopping at the supermarkets and even communicating in classrooms brings questioning looks from others. These looks usually stem from the misconceptions that our media has imposed about the hijab. Sometimes, I do feel inferior.

However, I feel comfortable wearing the hijab in the United States because it’s the country of “freedom”. A report issued by the American Civil Liberties Union identified the many laws that protect the rights of a women to wear the hijab.

Simply speaking, the hijab is a personal preference that does not harm anyone.

By putting it on everyday I am making a choice I have the right to make.

The things I wish I knew in college

DONNA LAZARESCU Hornet Columnist

For college students, it can often be challenging to maintain health. Staying educated and learning these tips can improve your health and your life: Control What You Put Into Your Body · It is almost impossible to find healthy snacks in the average vending machine. Students can avoid harmful binge eating by packing simple snacks such as organic granola bars, fruits, small bags or containers of baby carrots to satisfy their hunger. · Preparing portions and cooking one’s own food is a way to have full knowledge of the content and amount he or she puts inside his or her body. · Visiting fast food restaurants more than once a week may seem harmless, however it can take a toll on a student’s financial health. This can cause stress, which is extremely unhealthy in the present and the future for anyone.

Live Longer by Finding Ways to Keep Your Heart Rate Up

Nutrition Makes a Difference in Daily Performance

· Joining a sports team or gym is a great way to stay in shape, maintain health and achieve an aesthetic appearance.

· All physical processes require nutrients to work well and students can ensure their general health by feeding their body nutrient rich foods.

· Always take the stairs, park far and take the long route; you’ll find parking a lot easier as well. · Working out with friends is a way to ensure continuous progress because workout partners can motivate each other.

You Should Know Your Body Better Than Anyone Else Does · To take charge of one’s body and know exactly what is going on at all times, regular doctor and dentist visits should be made. · A close monitoring of one’s body can help detect any symptoms of serious diseases such as cancer. · Every body shape is different.

One should stay within the recommended Body Mass Index weight. The National Institute of Health website has valuable information on this.

· Without an adequate intake of healthy food, the mind cannot think clearly and the body is sluggish. This can affect students in a negative way by hindering their ability to move fast, get things done and even process information well. · To maximize the amount of nutrients and limit deficiencies, one should eat different colors of vegetables and fruits.

Deficiencies can affect mental and physical processes.

We All Know How to Eat, But Here are Some Tips · Eating many small meals a day is better than eating a few large meals. One should keep the body fed at all times and avoid any negligence. · Sometimes, healthy food is not available. That can be okay, but the rule is: Everything in moderation. · Food should be prepared

Remembering World War II: Life Aboard a Pacific Battleship A city that is rich in culture and public transportation is also rich with historic value. The Fullerton Museum has been presenting the Memories of World War II Speaker Series this month in conjunction with the current photographs from the archives of The Associated Press that are on display through April 13 of this year.

The AP exhibit is a variety of photos from all theaters of the war and the home front. The images are displayed to act as windows of the past, taking each guest on a tour through World War II. Life Aboard a Pacific Battleship will take place Saturday, March 29, 2 p.m. The USS Iowa, saw combat in the South Pacific and transported President Roosevelt to the Tehran Conference in 1943. U.S. Navy Veteran David Canfield joined by curator David Way, will present on the day-to-day experience of a crew member aboard the legendary ship during different chapters of her career.

In the exhibit, recognizable scenes of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, along with British and American troops hitting Normandy beaches on D-Day and marching through newly liberated Paris, are contrasted with hidden surprises.

These surprises brought back old familiar feelings to older Americans. “These are clear images that bring back a lot of feelings,” said Fred Cienfuegos, Fullerton

resident. Eye-catching photos adorn the exhibit including one of President Franklin Roosevelt, Soviet leader Josef Stalin and Churchill sit for a group portrait at Tehran.

In Cherbourg, France, Army Capt.

Despite censorship that postponed the release of certain pictures and restricted caption information, the wartime cameras recorded dramatic close-ups of power and pathos, the leaders and the lost.

These photos not only catch the moment of action, it also gives the viewer an idea of the amount of risk put into each photo taken.

“My camera was my shield and I didn’t even think about the idea that a bullet might hit me,” says Max Desfor, retired AP photojournalist, who covered the battle of Okinawa and Japan’s surrender aboard the battleship USS Missouri.

“Seeing my parents get emotional shows that this exhibit is doing what it’s suppose to,” said Vanessa Lemus, FC student. “It makes me wonder what kind of exhibit I will be looking at when I am their age.”

Pass the crust New restaurant introduces a one of a kind quality taste and experience in Placentia.

Special to the Hornet

For a restaurant that has only been open for approximately three months, Craftsman Wood Fired Pizza is already making a name for themselve.

The décor is simple, which gives it a pleasant, almost home-like look and vibe.

When entering the restaurant, customers have the choice of seating, whether it be inside at one of the many tables or booths, at the bar or the small outdoor patio.

Craftsman’s kitchen is very impressive.

The restaurant’s kitchen is in full open view. This leaves no room for doubt to customers about the quality and freshness of how their pizza is made, if there is any skepticism.

The atmosphere is tranquil for the early afternoon, which makes a perfect scene for a family. The nights are a bit busier and the atmosphere is more suitable for social gathering.

The staff ’s hospitality is very welcoming and friendly. They dote on their customers to make sure there is customer satisfaction in their service.

The pizza is anything than the ordinary.

A freshly made pizza by firewood can be tasted in the crust alone. Craftsman prides themselves in the pizzas they make, doing their absolute best to craft each pizza to near perfection.

They also pride themselves in having fresh dough that they make every single day, unlike the frozen dough that most fast

food pizza places use.

Craftsman offers 10 and 14 inch pizzas and a customer’s best bet would be to go with the build-yourown pizza. Customers get a wide range of toppings to choose from as well as the type of cheese they would like on their pizza.

A build-your-own pizza of mozzarella, pepperoni and pineapple was exceptionally delicious. If pizza lovers are looking for a pizza that they can bite into where the mozzarella just stretches to infinity, then this is the place for them.

Craftsman does not only offer pizza but a different variety of food that ranges from samplers, salads and sandwiches. One sampler worth trying is the beer battered zucchini. If customers still have room for a bit more, Craftsman also offers desserts.

The prices are affordable, especially when it comes to sharing pizza. Food on the menu starts at $5.

The restaurant also offers a menu of alcoholic beverages with a vast variety of beer and wine to choose from.

To entice customers to stop on by, Craftsman offers weekly specials on their food and alcoholic beverages. On Thursdays, they offer two pizzas with two toppings for $10 after 10 p.m.

Overall, Craftsman differs from any fast food pizza place and even most other pizza places. It is worth giving a try as it is almost guaranteed that customers will walk out satisfied.

Craftsman is located at 148 E. Yorba Linda Blvd. in Placentia.

Gardening advice takes full swing in Fullerton as residents are invited to vegetable event.

SHIRLENE VASQUEZ Hornet Reporter

Locals were treated to the first ever Veggiepalooza! sale at the Fullerton Arboretum.

Veggiepalooza! is an expansion from the annual Monster Tomato and Pepper sale, which featured over 250 varieties of tomato plants and 190 varieties of pepper plants.

“This year we added different vegetables, herbs and companion plants,” explains Michelle Coker, plant sales coordinator for the arboretum.

Gardeners from beginners to the experienced, enjoyed a

beautiful weekend. They walked around, shopped for plants and learned more about the practice of gardening.

Many couples and children with their parents or grandparents were among those who attended the event.

Rodelio Rutger makes the trip from Anaheim every year to take his daughter, Madison to the arboretum.

“I’m teaching her how to grow our own [vegetables] at home,” Rutger said.

Even those who did not expect to spend the day at the arboretum had a great time picking out plants from the 36,000 grown for the event.

thumb,” said Eddie Holland from Long Beach.

Attendees were able to ask questions and seek advice from many of the Master Gardeners whom were knowledgeable and willing to teach their best practices and make suggestions.

Master Gardener, Geri Cibellis from Villa Park, held gardening demonstrations. A crowd gathered to listen to Cibellis as she described the various types of tomatoes and tips as to which ones would be good for sauces or in a particular dish.

She also explained companion planting and how it helps with pollination and pest control.

“If you see a large fly that hovers above your tomato plant don’t kill it,” Cibellis said when she clarified that not all insects were bad for the plants.

Cibellis has been volunteering at the arboretum for 15 years.

Her love for gardening began at an early age when her grandmother introduced her to it.

The majority of the arboretum workers are volunteers who give their time. They consider this something fun and not work as Cibellis mentioned.

Current trend in craft beers Locals are in for a treat with beer selection from local breweries.

SULEYMI RECINOS Special to the Hornet

This spring, most craft beer lovers will be heading down to their local bars and breweries for refreshing and light brews.

Orange County breweries and bars are offering a wide

selection of spring brews this season. Depending on customer preferences the choices range between fruity, pale ales, brown ales, blonde ales, wheat and barley.

Due to the change in season, most individuals will prefer brews that are a bit lower in the alcohol percentage.

anything heavy or too high of a percentage of alcohol, just light and refreshing fresh beers,” said Barbara Gerovac, co-owner and brewer of Anaheim Brewery.

Anaheim Brewery’s Anaheim Hefeweizen is a great wheat ale for this spring. Aside from the traditional wheat in Hefeweizen beers it has a fruity taste of banana added to it.

The Bruery in Placentia offers two specialty seasonal spring beers: the Hottenroth Berliner Weisse, a tart wheat ale made for the spring and summer season and the Saison De Lente a seasonal blonde ale specially made for Lent and Easter.

Due to its’ popularity in taste, Hottenroth Berliner Weisse also has been honored with two awards. According to TheBruery. com in 2011, it was recognized at the Great American Beer Festival with a silver medal for German style sour ale. In 2012 it was honored with the World Beer

volunteer help,” states Greg Pongetti, the nursery manager at the Fullerton Arboretum.

He explains the importance of having the volunteers help plant the seeds in the trays and transplanting them.

Pongetti has been in his current position for two years and his passion for gardening still shines clearly through his actions and on his face.

He walked around and happily answered all questions including what his favorite veggie is.

“Butternut squash, but I really

like the herbs, marjoram is one of my favorites,” Pongetti said.

He also suggested putting the two together to make delicious soup.

Pongetti stated that any plants leftover from the sale can still be purchased at the Potting Shed in the arboretum.

Arboretum hours and information can be found at www.fullertonarboretum.org.

The Fullerton Arboretum’s next event is Green Scene which will be on Saturday and Sunday, April 12-13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Bootleggers Brewery in Downtown Fullerton offers their spring Mountain Meadow, an herbed blonde ale brewed with sage, chamomile, tarragon and honey. For the past two years, the brewery’s Galaxian Barley wine has been offered on tap and is now being reintroduced in bottle form for customers to take home.

Hopscotch Tavern in Downtown Fullerton offers, Fruli Strawberry Belgian White Ale imported from Brouwerij Huyghe brewery in Melle, Belgium. It is very light, refreshing and brings out the natural flavor of strawberry paired well with the white ale.

“It’s smooth and reminds me

of a strawberry soda,” said Cady Perez, Chino Hills resident and regular customer at Hopscotch Tavern.

For those taste buds that prefer citrus fruits over sweet ones, the Big Whig India Pale Ale from Noble Ale Works Brewery in Anaheim might be a better choice. It contains tangerine, honey and rosemary.

For a brown ale for those who like to gravitate themselves towards the darker beers, Backstreet Brewery in Irvine offers Vlad’s Double Oatmeal Stout which has a slightly sour rich roasted flavor.

Although some individuals may stick to their favorites, it is good to try and explore some of the beers in season.

The most wanted crew is back

A heartwarming film made to please audiences of all types.

SHIRLENE VASQUEZ Hornet Reporter

“Muppets Most Wanted” refocuses the attention to the Muppets themselves and keeps its human counterparts in supporting roles.

It was refreshing to see the Muppets crew given the freedom to be as funny and entertaining as ever.

The movie begins with an opening number that pokes fun of sequels done in Hollywood.

“Everybody knows that the sequel is never quite as good,” the Muppets sing.

Despite knowing so, it is exactly what they decide to do.

The movie begins by figuring out what the plot should be, thus enters Dominic Badguy. This role is played by Ricky Gervais, who entices the crew into a world tour contract.

On their first stop, Kermit the Frog gets mistaken for Constantine, the world’s most evil frog. Kermit and Constantine look identical to one another except for the mole on Constantine’s face.

Constantine is sent to a prison in Siberia where the warden, Nadya, wonderfully played by Tina Fey, keeps strict command.

This leads to great comedic moments with her prisoners who among them are Ray Liotta and Danny Trejo. There is also the high security prisoner who is revealed with a surprising cameo at the end of the movie.

In the meantime, the rest of the Muppets travel with the evil Constantine who has them fooled into believing he is Kermit.

Constantine and Badguy are teamed up to steal the Crown Jewels of England and book shows for the Muppets at different cities in order to accomplish it. With every stop getting one step closer to their ultimate goal.

crimes that happen in each town they visit on their grand tour. An Interpol agent, played by Jean Pierre Napoleon, yet another well-known celebrity, Ty Burrell, questions them.

The movie stereotyped and dramatized his European origin by having Jean Pierre take long breaks and end his workday at 2 p.m. Not original but funny nonetheless.

The Muppets eventually figure out that Constantine is an imposter and set out to rescue Kermit.

Together again, the Muppets stop Miss Piggy from marrying the wrong frog and Constantine is arrested.

The movie ends in true Muppet fashion with a full cast dance and song number.

With big names like: Lady Gaga, Salma Hayek, Usher and Zach Galifianakis to name a few, the countless celebrity cameo appearances are something to look forward to.

Swinging open the Doors’ catalog Review: Wild Child delivers a psychedelic performance leaving fans stunned.

ALENE MASSE

Special to The Hornet

An immense line formed from outside the entrance of the House of Blues in Anaheim into a snake-like shape that reached next-door neighbor restaurant Tortilla Jo’s. Fans waited anxiously to be allowed in. The HOB held a musical event Saturday that took everyone back to the past. The late ‘60s to be exact.

People of all ages came out to show their support for Wild Child.

Wild Child is a tribute band to the psychedelic rock band, The Doors.

As the lights dimmed and the curtains pulled back, concertgoers mustered up all the energy they had to show their hospitality for the band.

Vocalist Dave Brock flawlessly embodied the persona of Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors.

Brock is no newbie when it

comes to the Morrison persona.

He formed Wild Child in 1986 and ever since then, Brock entertains with his Morrison impression.

Brock captivated fans at the HOB not only with his performance and vocals, but his appearance as well, that were uncanny to those of Morrison’s.

It is not surprising that the crowd was so immersed in the music of The Doors because for that night, Brock was Morrison.

His never-ending energetic vibe had fans on their toes throughout the show.

Brock’s mannerisms were identical to Morrison’s. In the middle of “Unknown Solider,” Brock displayed to perfection Morrison’s performance of falling to the ground as if being shot at.

Wild Child played most of The Doors’ classic, nostalgic singles such as “Roadhouse Blues,” “Light My Fire” and “L.A. Woman” as well as songs that may not have been mainstream.

Fans joined Brock as they sang along, word for word. The older generation in the crowd were able to reminisce back in time with a chance of growing up with the music of The Doors.

Helping to rock out

Review: Fans gather to rock out at the first ever Self Help festival.

KAREN BALTAZAR Hornet Reporter

This year A Day To Remember decided to create their own festival dedicated to alternative music. The line-up of Self Help consisted of sixteen different bands. Unfortunately, Rotting Out was not able to attend the event because someone broke into their van the night before.

There were two stages set up, one was outdoor and the other was indoor.

Over 12,000 people attended this event. VIP tickets were available and included a meet and greet with some of the bands, a t-shirt and a poster.

The indoor stage looked like an airplane hangar. Bands like Letlive, Stick To Your Guns, Terror and Memphis May Fire brought in enormous crowds.

People were packed in like sardines. The huge fans on the ceilings weren’t much help, everyone was still covered in sweat.

Jason Butler, vocalist for Letlive got the crowd to create a huge circle pit which took up about half of the space inside.

Like many of the vocalists in the bands, Jesse Barnett of Stick To Your Guns, had a heart to heart with everyone in the crowd. He expressed to the fans

Photo by Karen Baltazar, The Hornet

that he is empathetic of how they feel and that they should stop blaming others for their problems.

The outside stage area was dangerous for crowd surfers because it was all pavement.

There were some injuries and accidents that were taken care of at the first aid tent.

During Attila’s set, lead singer Fronz told the crowd to split down the middle to create “a wall of death,” which is when the crowd separates and then runs into each other.

Bring Me the Horizon played before ADTR and they made sure to get everyone pumped up for the main event. When Oliver Sykes, vocalist of the band, said jump every one in the crowd jumped and when he said put your middle fingers up, everyone did just that.

The event ended with ADTR and everyone went wild.

Everyone who attended the event had been waiting for this all day.

No one stood still for the main event. The entire crowd was on their feet singing along to every song the band played. Vocalist Jeremy McKinnon got into a giant hamster ball and ran into the crowd.

The purpose of Self Help about the music and how it unites everyone. ADTR hopes to make this an annual event and are already working on ideas for next year.

The night could not end without a much needed encore, which the crowd cheered for until they got what they asked for as Brock stepped back out to finish the concert. After the show, everyone came back to the present and seemed fully content from the experience.

FC pitching falters: Dylan Prohoroff has been one of the leaders of the Hornet staff. His 1.70 ERA is tied with Nick Morton for best on the team. Outside of them, the Hornets are looking for pitchers to step up.

The Hornets lose to the Gauchos, 7-1, and fall into a tie atop the conference standings.

JEREMIAH GIRARD Sports Editor

The Fullerton College baseball team saw their sixgame winning streak come to an end at the hands of the Saddleback College Gauchos, 7-1, Saturday at home.

The six-game winning streak, all in conference play, saw the Hornets climb all the way up into the top spot of the Orange Empire Conference. After the loss, the Hornets now move into a tie with the Gauchos atop the standings.

The Hornets gave the start to Kyle Lazcano, who was the ace coming into the year, but his recent performance has seen his playing time deteriorate.

Lazcano lasted four innings, while giving up two earned runs, on three hits and three walks. He picked up the loss. With the loss, Lazcano drops to 1-2 with a 6.07 earned run average.

“Lazcano gave us a pretty solid game,” said Fullerton College manager, Nick Fuscardo. “We didn’t necessarily have him on a tight leash, but coming into the game, we knew that if he came out flat and couldn’t pick it up we may be pulling him pretty early.”

The FC bullpen came in and gave up five runs in only five innings of work. Daniel Tessone gave up two runs in 1.2 innings pitched and Nate Green gave up three runs in two innings pitched.

Parker Merrit pitched a third of an inning, and gave up two hits, and Axel Cruz pitched the final inning, only gave up one hit in a scoreless effort.

The Gauchos gave the start to Eric Pierce who looked nearly unhittable on the mound. He only gave up one run on five hits in seven innings, while striking out two batters. Pierce is now 2-0 on the year with a 2.10 ERA. The pitching has been a big reason that the Gauchos are up in the first place spot in the OEC. Their team ERA now stands at only 1.91 during conference play.

“We knew coming in that this team could pitch,” said Fullerton College manager, Nick Fuscardo. “We knew that we were going to have to jump all over them early and try to put them in a bad spot. We were unable to do so, and they showed us just how good their staff can be.”

The Hornets only got seven hits in the whole game.

Over the previous six-game winning streak, the Hornets got at least ten hits in every game.

Saddleback did not take long at all to get on the board.

After walking in the top of the first inning, Slate Miller stole second base. Mitchell Holland then drove him in with a single between the shortstop and third baseman to give the Gauchos a 1-0 lead.

The Gauchos scored again in the top of the fifth on an RBI groundout by Miller. On the game, Miller was 0-3 with an RBI, a run and two stolen bases.

Fullerton finally got something going in the bottom of the fifth inning and looked like they were going to score for sure. They had the bases loaded and only one out.

After a wild pitch by Pierce, Oscar Heredia took off from third base to try to score, but was thrown out at the plate.

Rickey Perez struck out looking on the next pitch, and just like that, the inning was over.

Saddleback would add two more runs and take a 4-0 lead in the top of the sixth inning. After pinch-hitting for Brandon Cody, Alex King ripped a double off the top of the right field wall that scored Hunter Cullen and Casey Bennett easily.

The Hornets finally answered back with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Nick Gotta got things started with a walk. Then, KC Huth, who has been the Hornets’ best hitter all year long, drove a triple into right field that scored Gotta. Huth added to his team leading RBI total and now has 20. His hit extended his hitting streak to nine games.

“I did not think that we came out with the level of intensity that we have been lately,” Huth said. “We came out kind of flat and couldn’t get the bats going..

FC was not able to get anything going after that, and the Gauchos added three more insurance runs in the eighth inning.

Tony Bone ripped and RBI double after pinch hitting for King, which scored Cullen. Cody Schmitz then drove him in. Dylan Diaz added one more with an RBI single.

The two teams, tied for first place, were in the middle of a rematch at the time of production. Check out hornet. fullcoll.edu for the results of that game.

“That game is really important,” Fuscardo said. “I thought that today’s game was really important too. We are more than half way through conference play now.

Any conference game is important, especially against the team right behind you in the standings.”

The Fullerton College sand volleyball team is off to a 5-1 record through the first two Quad Tournaments of the season.

They are currently in a three-way tie atop the Orange Empire Conference North with Orange Coast College and Irvine Valley College. There only conference loss was the OCC and they have yet to match up with IVC. “The match with Orange Coast really could have gone either way,” said head coach Eddie Rapp. “They beat us 3-2 but we had a lead in the third set of two of those matches. If we would have held onto the lead in one of those, then we would have won the match 3-2.”

The team remains confident that they are one of the better teams in the state, and that the match could have easily gone differently.

“They are a great team, but they are also very beatable,” said sophomore Celeste Snider. “We just need to come together during practice and push ourselves over that hump. Next time we play them, I am confident that we will beat OCC.” In their most recent quad tournament, the Hornets dominated all three of their matches and came out with a 3-0 record. They beat Santa Ana and Pierce College 4-1, and took a closer 3-2 victory over Golden West.

All five pairings won at least one of their three matches.

The top pairing of Alanna Hayhurst and Sam Palmer faced the stiffest competition and came out with a 1-2 record in three matches. The pairings of Shawnna Chung and Madeline Barrett, and Crystal Lopez and Kristin Santos both came out with 2-1 records.

The mid-level pairings are where the Hornets did most of their damage. The third pairing of Carly Joe Reeves and Tiffany Cobian took all three of their matches. The fourth pairing of Celeste Snider and Alexa Fairfield did the same.

Even though the team has seen success, the top five pairing are not necessarily safe.

“Every time we step on the court for practice each team is competing for a spot,” Rapp said. “We are a very deep team so there are some girls who are very capable players that have not gotten a chance to play yet.”

The team’s next tournament is Friday, Apr. 4 at Golden West College against IVC, Golden West and OCC. Golden West, OCC and FC all stand at 2-1 and the fourth team in the conference, Cypress, is 0-3.

After the quad tournament, there will be two-team playoff matches to decide which four teams will go on to the final quad tournament to determine the state champion.

For the past week, March Madness has been in full throttle as the road to the Sweet 16 has been as competitive as ever with some unpredictable endings.

Some of the traditional heavyweights of the NCAA tournament have made an early exit. The perfect record of one seed Wichita State (35-0) was shattered in a loss to Kentucky, who started five freshman to defeat the Shockers by two.

There is an 11 seed, two 10 seeds, and an eight seed still remaining, providing some interesting matchups.

UCLA and Florida will face off for the third time in the tournament in the last eight years. Billy Donovan has been the coach for the Gators for all three games, and has successfully knocked the Bruins out all three times. Led by 6’9’’ point guard, Kyle Anderson, the Bruins look to flip the script on the topranked Gators, and seek some tournament revenge.

The other game in the South section will 11 seed Dayton and 10 seed Stanford. Dayton has proven they are for real, after knocking out two powerhouse teams in Ohio State and Syracuse. Stanford is responsible

11

What to expect in the Sweet 16? for the exit of Kansas, and look to use their inside size and strength to overpower Dayton.

As for the East, Virginia versus Michigan State might be the most highly anticipated game in the round. With a roster that is finally healthy, Michigan State has become a hot pick to go all the way. Virginia’s defense looks to shut down Tom Izzo’s offense.

Iowa State and Connecticut will also play in New York, representing the last two spots in the East. Iowa State suffered a big loss after key scorer Georges Niang was injured in their first tournament game. Without him, they still managed to put up 85 points against a solid UNC defense, that was capped off by DeAndre Kane’s game-winner.

Kane will need to replicate another stellar performance, and the Cyclones need to find a way to stop UConn’s Shabazz Napier.

Top-seeded Arizona will take on San Diego State in a game showcasing two of the elite defenses in the nation. SDSU held their opponent to only 44 points in the last round, while U of A forced 21 turnovers in their victory over Gonzaga.

Baylor versus Wisconsin will showcase two of the most efficient offensive teams in the nation. Baylor is coming off a

30-point win over Creighton University. Wisconsin is coming off a win over Oregon. This will be a high scoring game and will ultimately come down to which backcourt has a better night of shooting.

Defending national champions Louisville and coach Rick Pitino are looking to make a second straight appearance to the big dance. Standing in their way are John Calipari’s freshman-filled Kentucky Wildcats. Rick Pitino has never lost in the Sweet 16.

However, the Wildcats have already beaten the Cardinals once this year.

The last of the eight games consists of the 11 seed Tennessee Volunteers taking on the two seed Michigan Wolverines. The Vols have looked impressive, as they blew out both UMass and Mercer. They will face their toughest task yet in Michigan, led

by Nik Stauskas, who is coming off a 17-point outing in the 79-65 win over the Texas Longhorns.

Four games will be played Thursday and the other four on Friday. With every game packed with hostile crowds, players leaving it all on the floor, and national championship contention on the line, expect the “Madness” to continue this week in the Sweet 16.

n the popular consciousness, jazz has been a declining art form for decades, but for two days, jazz filled the campus of Fullerton College. The school’s Jazz Festival, held Friday and Saturday, brought together students, teachers, and fans from over 70 schools for competition and performance.

For Fullerton College, the event has been an annual tradition for the past 42 years. It aims to promote both vocal and instrumental jazz music. In addition to the performances, the festival featured workshops for jazz students, and vendors selling instruments for anyone who wanted to start learning.

It was an opportunity to put a spotlight on the Fullerton College music program.

“The Fullerton College music department is abnormal,” said John Tebay, music instructor and co-chair of the festival. “It is not your typical community college music department. It is the largest in the state. The level of musical training that goes on here is higher than most of the universities in the state.”

Over 2,000 people were on campus as the competitions spread through the buildings surrounding the Quad. High schools from all over Southern California (and the Tucson Jazz Institute from Arizona) came out for the festival, which has grown into one of

the largest of its kind.

“Directors, students and our guests adjudicators; all the people that participated in the festival feel like it was a valuable experience for them, educationally and musically,” Tebay said.

In front of the 1300 Building, there was an outdoor stage for bands to showcase their talents, including FC’s Jazz Lab Band (one of six FC jazz ensembles that performed). People crowded around to hear the bands play and shop from the vendors who were selling food, instruments, music books and gifts for music fans.

“It’s great to see all the different generations enjoying this music,” said Annette Kelly from Kelly’s Enterprise, a vendor at the festival.

Planning for the Jazz Festival began in November 2013 by Bruce Babad, Joe Jewell, Jamie Shaw, and Tebay.

Aiding them were many volunteers from the music department at FC. As for the future of the jazz festival, the department hopes to keep clearing the bar that they have set so far.

“I want to keep our priorities on good music education,” Tebay said. “We have a lot of clinics that are attended by hundreds of kids.

We want to keep the clinics as valuable as they have been in the past. To continue to look for new ways to encourage music education.”
