Public calls for Board member’s resignation LAURA M. TAPIA @LMTreporter

The Vice President of the Riverside Community College District Board of Trustees received demands for his resignation Aug. 16 during a Board of Trustees meeting. Nathan Miller is under criticism for tweeting out an image of a hangman with the words “I’m Ready for Hillary” from the official Twitter account of Riverside’s Republican Party, as previously reported Aug. 4 on Viewpoints online. He sent two tweets with the image, the tweets were in response to another user who asked where she could find “Republicans for Hillary” signs. The second tweet included the caption “sorry they never arrived but this is pretty popular,” according to the Press Enterprise. During the public comments portion of the Aug. 16 meeting, the first Board of Trustees meeting since the incident, several members of the public spoke out against Miller’s actions. Shari Yates, Early Childhood Associate professor, asked “What kind of political rhetoric is the most impactful?” before answering “Fear and loathing.” Yates continued by telling a story of when she first met Miller in a Board of Trustees meeting at the Moreno Valley Campus, before asking him to resign saying “RCCD deserves a Trustee that we trust will make good and appropriate decisions.”

Students denied access CRYSTAL OLMEDO @Crystal__Olmedo

Several students stood silently outside the Charles A. Kane building at Riverside City College after being denied entrance to a retreat hosted by Riverside Community College District student government. Viewpoints reporters were also not permitted admittance to the meeting as a direct order from RCC administrators, according to Deborah Hall, Student

Activities Coordinator. Hall said that had there been arrangements made beforehand that reporters may have been admitted into the meeting. Although, the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act requires that a legislative body of a student body organization conduct its business in public meetings. The students were there in opposition to District Compliance Officer Lorraine Jones’ presenting training on sexual harassment and assault to members of student government

and their advisers. The retreat was held for the student government of the three RCCD campuses to receive information and participate in workshops and be made aware of resources available related to emergency preparedness, sexual assault and how to compassionately assist other students in such situations according to ASRCC Interclub Council Representative Grace Peterson.

Study Abroad Director Jan Schall dies MARY VALTERRIA @RCCviewpoints

IMAGE COURTESY OF RCCD

Jan Schall, retired Riverside City College personnel and Director of RCC’s Study Abroad Program, has died. Schall was 75 years old when she died July 2. Schall was a driving force in the schools Study Abroad program and played a major role in the success of many RCC

students over the course of her tenure, which spanned over forty years. According to an email sent out from RCC Media Technician Armando Castro, Schall’s ties with RCC began in the late 1950’s when she was Janice O’Dell - a student at the college. Schall retired in 2011 after being a professor at RCC for over forty years. She was the twelfth professor to achieve this feat.

Although retired, Schall continued to contribute to RCC endeavors by coordinating the “Study Abroad” program. Schall’s passion for helping students from all walks of life experiences and education came to fruition in May of 2012, when the “Jan Schall Legacy Scholarship for Study Abroad” was established. The program survived and thrived under Schall’s direction.

In a 2015 Viewpoints article, Schall was quoted saying, “Less than two percent of community colleges in California don’t have their study abroad programs and we’re very fortunate that our Board of Trustees, college presidents and administrators have supported this program for over 25 years.” A Celebration of Life for Jan Schall is scheduled to take place in the fall at RCC.

Peterson said she had very little knowledge of Jones’s history, but had read fliers that had been passed out by protesters at previous occasions. “Regardless of her (Jones) giving the information, the information was sound … It wasn’t really her personal experience. She wasn’t the only one giving information so it wasn’t biased,” Peterson said. Protesters included RCC graduate Jose Venegas, former Mt. SAC student Aisha Siddiqui, current Mt. SAC student Jessica Mathis and her co-worker Chris Daylo who were there in support of Aarefah Mosavi. Mosavi, who was not permitted to attend the meeting, gave speeches regarding her current lawsuit against Jones for allegedly mishandling her rape case in previous months. “I want my voice to be heard,” Mosavi said. “I do not want to be silenced. I understand that RCC student government, I guess, didn’t want a protest. They didn’t want us to draw attention to the issue. (This is) essentially a silencing scheme and I am absolutely outraged that RCC student government would even advocate that.” Mosavi addressed students in the courtyard outside of the Kane building recounting her opposition to Jones’ competency to provide training on the subject of sexual assault and harassment because of her alleged uncooperative manner of handling Mosavi’s rape claim.

Accompanying Jones at the training session was Georgina Vi l l a s e ñ o r, D i v e r s i t y a n d HR Analyst for the district’s department of Diversity, Equity and Compliance and C.J. Baca, Institution Advocate/Educator for the Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center. ASRCC President Nigel Item said that it may have benefited students at the retreat to hear first hand information from someone who claimed to be raped. “You can take cases from last semester; things that came up with the Board. The power of students being involved is a trend that should be continuing upwards and I think that we should be encouraging students to do so. At the end of the day students have the largest stake hold in our district.” Item said he sympathized with the protesters, but upheld instructions he received from RCC administrators. “Although I understand their frustration, from my perspective - I’m speaking on my behalf. I’m not representing ASRCC or anything - I understand their frustration. I really do,” Item said. “Unfortunately in a systematic institution there are policies that are in place and often times this policy may not make sense to the outsiders. But today the district really felt like it was a training session that was very important for the student leaders and although as they (protesters) stated they had no intention of stopping the training, it’s still a policy that the schools and institution want to hold to.” As student leaders exited the

building at approximately 3:30 p.m. many of them declined to comment on Jones’ presentation and the presence of student protesters. “I don’t know what their circumstances were about declining to comment, Venegas said. “I don’t know why they were told that. But what i do know is that I asked them for a minute of their time. They are our representatives and I felt like they should have stayed here and listened to our side of the story. They can’t go in the meeting and say, ‘we are here for the students and we represent the students when they can’t even hear a student’s concern about the event that was going on today and about the training that they received … I didn’t want them to comment I just wanted them to listen to us.” Jones spoke to Viewpoints after the protest and retreat had ended. “I have a job to do that I am committed to and capable of and passionate about,” Jones said. “I was selected by a committee of members of the district that selected me out of the pool of applicants. I cannot speak to what they are protesting about.” Jones and Villaseñor said that they are excited to extend informational meetings and possibly workshops to the general population of RCCD students with a target date of the Fall semester. According to Jones there is a 12-14 week implementation period. She also said they are looking into bringing back self-defense classes to RCCD campuses.

Former student now Olympian Former Riverside City College athlete Chris Benard got a chance to jump at the 2016 Rio

summer Olympics. Benard was a Tiger from 2009-2010, competing in both the long jump and the triple jump for men’s track and field. Benard helped the Tigers win the state championships in 2009 and in 2010 by winning in both the long and triple jump. Head coach Jim McCarron recalls seeing Benard’s Olympic potential from the beginning, “Chris had shown Olympic potential from the beginning,” McCarron said. Benard competed in the Triple Jump event on August 15 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He finished 16th overall with a result of 16.55m During the Olympics trials in Eugene, Oregon on July 9. Benard jump scored 56-5 ¾ meters earning him third place, qualifying him for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. “Its exciting, it’s my tenth year coaching at RCC,” McCarron said. “Since I’ve been at RCC this is the first Olympian that we’ve had.” McCarron who still keeps in touch with his former athlete, recalls what Benard told him about his time and experience

Own up to your actions

Views

Self expression does not guarantee a lack of consequences

Editorial

A member of an entity, whether they choose to or not, is a brand ambassador for said entity. In the case of the Riverside Community College District, whether a student, staff member, faculty member or district administrator engages in questionable behavior those actions reflect on the the district. In the past weeks a member of the RCCD Board of Trustees has been under scrutiny by media and members within the district. On Aug. 3 Board of Trustees Vice President Nathan Miller sent out a Tweet on behalf of the Riverside County GOP Tw i t t e r a c c o u n t t h a t included what can be perceived as threatening language and imagery to the democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The post was made in response to a woman asking where she could find signs that said, “Republicans for Hillary.” T h e Vi e w p o i n t s editorial board believes Nathan Miller should face some consequences for his actions. It’s not a new trend for politicians or members of opposing parties to toss banter or criticisms back and forth. However, once threatening imagery or language that would suggest violent behavior comes into play, these actions should be closely examined and scrutinized. Mary Figueroa made a statement at the Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 16, in which she told those in attendance that Miller’s actions had violated Board policy 2715. This is enough to call for action. The Board president has the right to appoint a committee with two board members to determine if a member who violates the policy should be censured. The policy states that board members are

responsible to act only in the best interest of the entire community and to respect others and act with civility and “The Board of Trustees will promptly address any violation by a Board member or Board members of the Code of Ethics in the following manner.” Miller’s actions certainly do not reflect the views or interests of the entire RCCD community, but that

However, there are no apparent consequences or reprimanding of his violation of board policy. Miller had sent out a statement with his apology, but did not apologize and grasp the wrong doing of his actions while at the meeting. Many members of the public as well as the RCC faculty association do not see Miller’s apology as sincere. “I didn’t know he had apologized,” Sherri Yates a professor at the RCC said. “He didn’t apologize tonight.” Many members of the public did not know that he had issued an apology or statement prior to the meeting. Yates is one of the many individuals disappointed by Miller’s tweet. “There is good guilt and there is bad guilt,” Yates said. “It’s not okay. It’s inappropriate,” she said. “It’s not how a trustee should comport himself. Miller’s apology was not clear nor sincere, which could be interpreted as more of a statement versus an actual apology. Even though there were more opposing comments towards Miller there were still some who felt he did no harm. “The tweet while unnecessary does not reflect the Nathan Miller I’ve known for the last few years. I respectfully ask the Board, everyone here and Nathan Miller that he stay on the Board and represent us and if they voters so chose they may decided to do what they want to do in November but until then he must stay here and represent us to the best of his ability like he has for the last few years.” Guarav Taneja a member of the public said As first amendment supporters our editorial board at Viewpoints strongly supports freedom of speech.

Features Heat Waves: how to keep your cool August 25, 2016

TYLER REESE

@Reeses__Puff

Starting the semester fresh is usually the way to go but instantly regretting stepping outside because you feel like you walked into a sauna definitely isn’t a good feeling. Heat waves have been burning Southern California making it harder to focus and not just for students but for the entire surrounding community. Temperatures have skyrocketed into the triple digits and have stayed stagnant where they are. Will this heat wave stay lingering into Riverside City College’s fall semester or fade away into the cold fall weather students usually look forward to? Since El Nino ended, the Southern California region has been scorched with blistering heat waves and multiple wildfires. Not only has So-Cal been pounded with many heat waves but California is still under a drought state of emergency. In 2014 Governor Jerry Brown declared state officials to assist farmers and communities that are economically impacted by dry conditions and to ensure the state can respond if Californians face drinking water shortages, according to CA.gov. Due to the constant high

temperatures that the So-Cal region is being scolded by, it’s vital that students have water on them at all times or the knowledge of where buildings with air conditioning or restrooms are at, if not heat stroke may be inevitable. Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you suspect someone has heat stroke, call 911 immediately and provide first aid until help arrives. If possible move the person into an air conditioned or a shady area. If not, remove unnecessary clothing while fanning the person and wetting their skin with water. If possible cover patient’s neck, back, armpits and groin according to WebMD.com. For students who do not know the following buildings have ample shade and air conditioning, Digital Library, Martin Luther King building, Bradshaw building/cafeteria and the new student services building. For more areas with higher concentrations of shade look no further than inside of the Quadrangle, Healing Garden and the grass area near the Bradshaw building and bookstore. Along with shade and air conditioning drinks and snacks are also available in many vending machines around the campus plus the bookstores snack area and cafeterias full menu. The cold weather that usually

greets RCC students in the fall semester may be delayed an extra month or two until December because of the ongoing weather patterns and if we run the chance of getting a La Nina, according to Weather.com temperatures could drop two degrees below average in the So-Cal region which would heavily impact our weather for the rest of the year and well into 2017 as a possible wet year. So as for right now a cold fall semester doesn’t seem plausible but only if La Nina takes hold in December

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY MADISON MOORE

then the high temperatures we are currently dealing with should be able to cool and dwindle down. Get ready students it seems like it’s going to be one hot semester.

Heat Stroke Guide Always stay hydrated and keep water with you during the heat.

Know where open air conditioning and shade is on campus.

Heat Stroke is no joke if you feel light headed or over heated get help immediately.

The good, the bad and the painfully obvious Reviews of movies that are already out and those that are upcoming later this year MARCUS COCOVA @RCCViewpoints

This fall theatergoers will face a plethora of what looks as though it promises to consist of the good, the bad and the painful to suffer through. August - despite it being kicked off by putting audience members in a Hot Topic coma with the recent dose of garbage: Suicide Squad - will press on in a fairly decent and family friendly manner with Pete’s Dragon released Aug. 12 - a modern adaptation of the 1977 Disney film. While this movie looks as though it is worth ticket prices it will unfortunately be competing, by way of same day release, with the over anticipated Sausage Party which appears to have as much false edge as Suicide

Squad with it’s tired “Hey look, animated characters swearing!” premise. Aug. 19 offers a reasonable amount of fun with another family friendly film: Kubo and The Two Strings. Most of this film’s appeal lies in its elements of storytelling and art/cinematography. War Dogs also having a release date on Aug. 19 gives forth a bit of an ambiguous impression. This movie could truly fall on either end of the spectrum, however more than likely not nearly close enough to the edge of either. If you’re interested in seeing what is sure to be a low quality rip off of a good movie that already exists then Sep. 2 Morgan looks as though it’ll be the movie for you! So many elements of this film - storyline, setting, cinematography, character base, pacing, etc - look as though they were violently heaved from 2015’s Ex Machina and spilt across a new and less intriguing title. Further on down the line on Sep. 16 theaters deal out Snowden and the ever so unnecessary Blair Witch. Snowden is certain to be the stronger title but that doesn’t really do this writer’s anticipation for it justice. Blair Witch will indefinitely be a reminder that plenty of movie studios just don’t

care as long as they pocket your money. To close out September theaters will host The Magnificent Seven on Sep. 23 and while my personal expectation is that this film will be forgettable at best, I do feel that the full movie can - and hopefully will - leave me pleasantly surprised with a new and exciting western epic. Similar to Snowden Oct. 7 The Birth of a Nation seems like it’s a sure to be well made film which tells the tale of Nat Turner, the leader of an 1831 slave rebellion in Virginia, while a week later, on Sep. 14 Kevin Hart is sure to be as predictable as ever with some loud yelling and silly faces in Kevin Hart: What Now? November seems to be the month for those who favor the mystic and magical with both the release of Marvel’s new addition to their cinematic universe: Doctor Strange - Nov 4 - which looks as though guests are in for another lesser heard of but sure to be spectacular (to the likeness of Guardians of the Galaxy and AntMan) comic book hero adventure as well as the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them - Nov. 18 -. As one who is not truly a follower of the Potter films I myself am still incredibly

excited to see this film. Room for the possibility of disappointment with both films can be seen, but is believed to be unlikely. Diving into late November on the 23, Disney will be striking screens everywhere yet again with another family friend film entitled Moana. This film will follow Disney’s first Hawaiian female lead character and her adventure with a demi-god by the name of Maui. To pack away the year movie enthusiasts will have a side story to the primary drama much like Fantastic Beasts but a long time ago in a universe far

far away. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story holds fans in year long anticipation with a Dec. 16 release date. Rogue One hopefully will do a better job of staying with the gritty trailer, unlike The Force Awakens. Finally to cap off the year there will be yet another title that may leave fans wanting more but will more than likely be just another production studio that’s pulling the name of a franchise simply because it already has a fanbase that will buy anything with that name and trademark. Assassin’s Creed has a late release of Dec. 21.
