The Hawaiian festival was the brain child of Park Superintendant Roddy Gregory whose musical talents and connection to Southern California's Hawaiian community made everything possible.<br /><br />"We wanted to bring a taste of the 'Aloha spirit' to share some of what we grew up with in Hawaii," he said. "At the same time we needed to feed the animals and provide for their medical care."<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjksblofXb-RlP-vSIlvHdq2xWd2MhfTNrjcyCd-rO78B5LJ_3uCV8tJ4jdQVdSJUJd38LUvQ_KyKeUXsg8nIzsmIo6uoXgbwEPT2DWQkMPk9d5gcMvCW5r-ZoHGyDTAu7mAZ0Q6nGK2ev0/s1600/Roddy2011.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjksblofXb-RlP-vSIlvHdq2xWd2MhfTNrjcyCd-rO78B5LJ_3uCV8tJ4jdQVdSJUJd38LUvQ_KyKeUXsg8nIzsmIo6uoXgbwEPT2DWQkMPk9d5gcMvCW5r-ZoHGyDTAu7mAZ0Q6nGK2ev0/s320/Roddy2011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621262796813718642" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On June 11 and 12, some 19 dance studios and musicians brought troups of Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, Tahitian and Maori dancers who performed to music that was mostly by live bands. There was never a gap in the music, as musicians shuffled on and off two side stages and costumed dancers strutted and swayed in colorful grass skirts, textiles and gowns of traditional patterns and colors.<br /><br />Thousands of visitors flocked to the park to enjoy the entertainment, patronize the food booths and to shop for clothing, jewelry and even musical instruments representing modern polynesian culture. "Aloha!" and "E como mai," (hello and welcome) were heard as the host Kamaka Brown, local entertainer, writer and comic, explained the dances, told stories and generally offered "Hawaiian hospitality" from the stage.<br /><br />Visitors from the community were surprised at the size and quality of the festivities. "I've lived here for years and never knew this was here," a young father marveled. Surrounding the grassy seating area, a line of tables offered crafts for children and displays of wild birds and reptiles from the Nature Center, Wild Wings and the Herpetology Society. Smoky the Bear even made a cheerful appearance, posing and hamming it up for the "keikis" (children).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhva55Lttb1_ztcIt32KEUUrUxu_62ELB0GG65Dhp5Gq1zIyE8z0gvGweUCGRKMmmLKV3tsJGG_G5ynFYa0fxsQS1f6GFCBQt7sfk3_NH83FWzXbrhAMI8YPcQFHBF_ivV729Ep2Zo7hz0s/s1600/Ho%2527o7.Dancer.jpg"><br /></a><br />The Ho'olaule'a has been an annual event since 2006, except for the brief hiatus. In the meantime, funding cuts and budget woes have reduced the staff and budget of the Nature Center. Currently, the sanctuary houses a deer, raccon, two red tailed hawks, barn owl, great horned owl, tortoises, turtles, kestrils, a tarantula and a newt. The animals at the Center are not living there to be exhibits but for one reason or another, can never be returned to the wild. A few can be used for outreach and education but with budget cuts, many programs to elementary schools have been eliminated. Classes taught by naturalists have also been cut.<br /><br />The Nature Center does offer volunteer opportunities for those who need training in working with animals, such as those who hope to volunteer at the Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park. Volunteers help to look after the animals, raise funds and support the youth programs of the Center. The success of the Ho'olaule'a brings a sense of relief to these staff and volunteers who care f<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibInNbequG_fcGOtNw2xKrzAT7vTB8KxAcxiZvv1c2038JippkxLcON4yj6Wz3vlsu4gnjAc0-bRaf03LDUVBkpmtWOvx0weWvDBPPmBDwTXgfHxv3W-yb1pdtCS4TcKlu8ChrCLqTXz9f/s1600/Ho%2527o7.Dancer.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibInNbequG_fcGOtNw2xKrzAT7vTB8KxAcxiZvv1c2038JippkxLcON4yj6Wz3vlsu4gnjAc0-bRaf03LDUVBkpmtWOvx0weWvDBPPmBDwTXgfHxv3W-yb1pdtCS4TcKlu8ChrCLqTXz9f/s320/Ho%2527o7.Dancer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621263677665578258" border="0" /></a>or the animals, many of whom require specialized diets and medicine from time to time.<br /><br />The park itself provided a sylvan setting, perfect for the expression of "aloha," which Gregory defines as a combination of friendliness and respect for one another that is the foundation of Hawaiian culture. The shady green trees and the grassy lawns brought a memory of Hawaii, a perfect compliment to the music and the scent of Hawaiian food that filled the air. The Hawaiian community involves more than the Ho'olaule'as, the many festivals held in the area. It stays connected with clubs, a musicians circuit, and, recently, through the modern technologies of email and facebook.<br /><br />Gregory expressed gratitude that some of the finest performers of the Hawaiian arts are willing to showcase their talents in support of the Nature Center. With a ban on alcoholic drinks, the San Dimas Ho'olaule'a has become a family oriented event, retaining its connection with the outdoors, the animals and the wilderness. Part of the activities included hiking in the foothills of the park, displays of native wildflowers, birds and reptiles. The Forest Service was represented. But the main attraction was the food, clothing and jewelry by vendors who offered a unique glimpse into one of the many cultures that makes up the quilt that is Southern California.<br /><br />"This fundraiser is more than a fundraiser," Gregory said. "Yes the overall goal is to raise money, but it's more than that. We were blessed to be raised in Hawaii within a culture of both friendliness and respect. It's people enjoying themselves. It's a way of sharing it with people."Julie

Many find the workout classes not only challenging but enjoyable. Criminal Justice major Cynthia Green, who is also a snowboarder, sees working on fitness as part of her preparation for a career in law enforcement. Psychology major Erin Lucero and Science major Deanna Willis are both taking the class for a second time. A former high school tennis player, Lucero enjoys the mix of strength and aerobic activities. Willis has also been active physically, turning out for volleyball, basketball and track and field when in high school. “The class can be challenging, but it’s only as challenging as you make it,” she advises.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Times-Roman;font-size:10pt;" >Roberts teaches “ready positions” and having an awareness of ”How do we remain stabilized?”<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Times-Roman;font-size:10pt;" >“Above and beyond weight loss and getting fit,” Roberts says, “we’re trying to make your body a better machine.

It’s a big machine that we have to make sure is working and functioning properly.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Times-Roman;font-size:10pt;" >Strength training has become a recommended part of fitness programs. It is widely recommended that exercise programs include two to three days of strength or resistance training a week, to complement cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise. Improving health is of major concern. The CDC reports that fully one third of American adults are obese and more than two thirds are overweight. But it goes beyond the problem of weight loss and becoming physically fit.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Times-Roman;font-size:10pt;" >“We’re looking at educating people on the rest of their lives,” Roberts asserts. “It’s a complement to the academic world. It makes your mind clearer. It allows you to think on a higher level. If you have a healthy lifestyle, you should feel the difference. You have the energy to deal with things, you have the energy to focus. It’s a complement to a well rounded individual.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style=";font-family:Times-Roman;font-size:10pt;" >A number of recent studies seem to confirm this observation. Research in the U.S., England</span><span style=";font-family:Times-Roman;font-size:10pt;" >, Australia, Iceland, and Hong Kong has found that physically active elementary school children do better than less active children in reading and math.

You have to wind your way around fences,sneak through the gate into the pool area. After winding and sneaking and pretending to be official, I look for the Breeze sports reporter. But he's not there and I'm on my own.<br /><br />Fortunately, the scoreboard keeps up with the action...which is very fast. A game barely lasts an hour and is broken up not only into four short periods of 8 minutes but by a 35 SECOND shot clock. There are MANY fouls but that doesn't slow the action much. Referee blows one or two short blasts, signals minimally. The ball is passed back into play and action begins anew!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAxAzVcj6Tbp-0peuxGqcdRlq-aamQAW6hOoIr46UkSH4HtGkP0SOYDoO8W_jKfKYLmxB5NT42VZrDquYXIBLbW5oZggVvGwjr1GzXQS2tExJMTn141s_NphF66FSUII3rZcWyGQtPArPx/s1600/WebHowell+and+Castillo.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAxAzVcj6Tbp-0peuxGqcdRlq-aamQAW6hOoIr46UkSH4HtGkP0SOYDoO8W_jKfKYLmxB5NT42VZrDquYXIBLbW5oZggVvGwjr1GzXQS2tExJMTn141s_NphF66FSUII3rZcWyGQtPArPx/s400/WebHowell+and+Castillo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518792056681518802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3FvlMmWVnC2ri7kYPCh08XVt4AvfZRYKoNIH4qwuKwGGaTvaqLLilkc7YA6oELk71f5zSMfsPrT_6eW7Zoo2YQArcLHxWkC8wiBLYEzaPU400-RE99y_edIQPCscQnBAfifjZwfm2YG5N/s1600/WebAshley+Dorrego.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3FvlMmWVnC2ri7kYPCh08XVt4AvfZRYKoNIH4qwuKwGGaTvaqLLilkc7YA6oELk71f5zSMfsPrT_6eW7Zoo2YQArcLHxWkC8wiBLYEzaPU400-RE99y_edIQPCscQnBAfifjZwfm2YG5N/s320/WebAshley+Dorrego.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518793120562406818" border="0" /></a>As the conference season starts, the Chaffey women are ranked at the top of the South Coast Conference.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcrYMd-hGoHu5DhPG1v_W6fYullyUreeuRbohUKZJKUgDgu6L84-im1RwLkRUbyYyRJwJsKjWcLVtKZqd1OG7ND6YT6JEIahM4VgyjhYQCM1tBj1vGB9lxdX58THcsIGNbhW1uDsJi5d2/s1600/WebMary+Baker+1.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWcrYMd-hGoHu5DhPG1v_W6fYullyUreeuRbohUKZJKUgDgu6L84-im1RwLkRUbyYyRJwJsKjWcLVtKZqd1OG7ND6YT6JEIahM4VgyjhYQCM1tBj1vGB9lxdX58THcsIGNbhW1uDsJi5d2/s320/WebMary+Baker+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518794226392824082" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Left, Ashley Dorrego leads in the Conference stats listing goals, assists and steals.

There was that familiar "Take my picture!"<br />Whenever we oblige, people bring out the ham (yes, even when its Ramadan) and start mugging and posing!<br /><br />We get some charming shots that I thought to share with you.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0f2nf_JpaQ9Tm02t1_1VUu8-RgynbBnj4w5ONA7V_aqwlWk4RHtuWqv61m2Z7aIyBItknVqz9weDamhpBWVoH9aT4nLbasKgu3F1P21zvouGV6Qz3i_TBn8Aajg3qHgc99jMgQp1CEe38/s1600/TakeMyPix2+copy.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 340px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0f2nf_JpaQ9Tm02t1_1VUu8-RgynbBnj4w5ONA7V_aqwlWk4RHtuWqv61m2Z7aIyBItknVqz9weDamhpBWVoH9aT4nLbasKgu3F1P21zvouGV6Qz3i_TBn8Aajg3qHgc99jMgQp1CEe38/s400/TakeMyPix2+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512880070700434946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobBnFOZaSF_dP62AhJFtp_juo7_CpRSj2ZMvfnld7fSZw4YAeRjPu54E6AVyEgelWG4o2aP4SiEq3Df2PaZVf1kKpgyIjYUszn-hK6Rb7mDzzV37kdtS3_tnyjWWLDy2nDoDjE8Y8P3Wg/s1600/Ramadon+%28Justin+Kenward%29+125.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 325px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobBnFOZaSF_dP62AhJFtp_juo7_CpRSj2ZMvfnld7fSZw4YAeRjPu54E6AVyEgelWG4o2aP4SiEq3Df2PaZVf1kKpgyIjYUszn-hK6Rb7mDzzV37kdtS3_tnyjWWLDy2nDoDjE8Y8P3Wg/s400/Ramadon+%28Justin+Kenward%29+125.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512880510463181842" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Here's the one that Justin shot.<br />Here's an example from last year<br />when we were celebrating Cinco de Mayo<br /><br />When the basket ball team shows up, they always ask for a photo.

Parking is hell. And even the midsummer cool spell has vanished like the coward it is.<br /><br />Where does summer break go? Does anyone take a summer break anymore? (If not, I hope you earned beaucoup dinero ...)<br /><br />So it's back to The Breeze for the editors and the new staff writers. We'll tackle the parking mess, (the fact there seems to be only one exit to Haven from mid campus), the lack of places to sit and eat lunch, the agony of book prices.Julie Cosgrovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10018696164036531623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3225478817781383395.post-90831037354779826802010-08-03T20:02:00.000-07:002010-08-23T21:00:53.288-07:00Ice House Canyon, San Antonio Falls<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT4bGlpeHSDK2R6MsgvKW6lFxPCFAHiVXcFstaaPdgPqSudljA0tuLpPtfvuhPie5vDmTElcqQ_yng289rhg-jwwMco3Pg7VV8YMx0BDTwbobj_Fsb1T_CV7vGZ3PNGU2eAnYXT31hqZ8J/s1600/IceHouse+Creek+3+%28W%29.jpg"> </a><a href="http://www.chaffeybreeze.com">back to the Chaffey Breeze</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqhwhs6z20O1UwdhOnuHwCopWGr6orG5klP7YTsnMwH_jPooC3YpSLCuczcQaAt3mCZYiYfmPUetqphrO-eBETaM9lKvQYso21y7hUq9smVQYtQy6prxFPqaydvIjvoPUttcQEEj_IQJNC/s1600/Ice+House+Creek+2+%28W%29.jpg"> </a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCDdDEZw21uSi_wkxx-C7u-OKpH5kwt-OIT0EF7MFL7BL9oyG584v7kJ1wo-p5jdjNnmZ89fOljABvsVQCXMYCQnAOKzEewZS_TTdZLHcZzKG_mffYOvGS7rehVFaoOxF81sxtuk0vDPwb/s1600/San+Antonio+Falls+2+%28W%29.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCDdDEZw21uSi_wkxx-C7u-OKpH5kwt-OIT0EF7MFL7BL9oyG584v7kJ1wo-p5jdjNnmZ89fOljABvsVQCXMYCQnAOKzEewZS_TTdZLHcZzKG_mffYOvGS7rehVFaoOxF81sxtuk0vDPwb/s400/San+Antonio+Falls+2+%28W%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501386857307658978" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><br /><br />Midsummer... heat's on... time to head for hills.<br /><br />Mt.

"Hey, did you finish your lab?"<br /><br />It was Gaby from Espanol, but I answered, "No, I'm headed for the Quad to cover Student Health Services..."<br /><br />"Oh, they're great! I got antibiotics from them and you can get blood tests too. They're really nice."<br /><br />It seems everyone has a positive word about SHS. The Chaffey Breeze annually writes at least one story about Student Health Services, a dry recitation of the services and low cost and the promise of confidentiality. But I think our stories lack the human touch. So I headed to the Quad to investigate.

Everybody was there: the Panther, the basketball team, the dance team, the clubs, family members.
