Vol. 87 ∙ No. 3 Wednesday, October 7, 2015 Counselors motivated to help BC students

By Marcus Castro Editor in Chief

The counseling department at Ba- kersfield College is putting forth an effort to motivate students to raise awareness of the new and old re- sources that it offers. This year, the counseling depart- ment has added new things that it believes will help students with their college and life careers. The counseling office has gained a few new counselors, and this is believed to be a big part in the new resources in the office. “We have a really good nucleus of veteran counselors that look out for us and make sure we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing, and we have the new excitedness coming in as well,” said new BC counselor Mason J. Rockfellow / The Rip Jonathan Schultz. When a student goes into the American pianist Sean Chen plays “Primavera” by Nikolai Medtner toward the end of the question-and-answer discussion. counseling office, one of the first things available for them to grab is the fall 2015 workshops pamphlet.

Panorama Grill’s chef Eric Sabella sees the increase in students from a business perspective – more customers. However, without additional staff to support the increase in business, Sabella is concerned about service and quality being compromised. Vaughn shares those concerns but describes a Catch-22 in terms of funding. The current increase in community and high school outreach and preregistration pro- grams has been funded by a state grant focused on increasing suc- cessful student outcomes. The grant is based on need. Before BC can be granted mon- ey to expand operations, it must first reach the very limit and be forced to turn prospective stu- dents away, a situation BC was in as recently as 2005. “This is one of those chicken and egg situations,” said Vaughn.

The defense of Glendale (2-12 overall, 0-1 Western State Con- ference) proved to be no match for the frontline of BC (8-7 over- all, 1-0 WSC) early on as outside hitters Daryan Heathcott and Mackenzie Hernandez combined for 30.5 points in the match.

Professional soccer will be making its return to Bakersfield after a decade with a pair of Mexican league powerhouses on Nov. 14 at Memorial Stadium. The long-awaited return will feature 10-time Mexican league champions Toluca (also known as Diablos Rojos or Choriceros) against Gallos Blancos of Que- retaro, Bakersfield’s sister city team.

By Mason Rockfellow Photo Editor

The Kern County Fair, which ended Oct. 4, was a big highlight for Bakersfield, welcoming ev- eryone to the fairgrounds for the rides, food, entertainment, and to relive the experience every year. The weather didn’t cool off much for the first week, but that didn’t stop people from coming out to the fair, even though a few said that the fair has been much slower than in the past. Mark Jones, 58, who has been working at the Karmel Korn booth since 1978, said, “So far it has been a little slower. When the Beach Boys were here it was significantly better.” The Karmel Korn booth has been with the Kern County Fair since 1946 and is put together by Mill Creek Christian Church and everything about the booth is all volunteered, with proceeds go- ing to all types of charities and organizations including youth camp scholarships, AYSO Soc- cer, and Salvation Army just to name a few. Even the carnival workers seemed to notice that this year hasn’t brought as many people as they are used to. Shellie Miramontes, 48, who was working the Shoot the Hoop booth, had also noticed the lack of attendees at this year’s fair. “I love the fair, I just think that it’s either the economy, or it’s the fires, or a little bit of both. It has slowed down a lot, even on good “It’s nice,” said Murdock, “It’s part of their past and it is still gigs it has slowed down,” said a lot bigger then the Paso fair, something they look forward to Above: Parents watch Miramontes. and a lot more things to do.” every year. their child ride the The fair doesn’t just bring lo- The fair is full of entertain- Virgina Loustalot, 30, and Squadron at the Kern cals but also brings out-of-town- ment but some just come for the Dominic Loustalot, 30, who County Fair. ers. fair food because it only comes were at the fair with their chil- Below: Virginia The Kern County Fair was new around once a year. dren shared their thoughts on the Loustalot, 30, holds for Tassie Murdock, 42, from Jerusalen Mosqueda, 21, has fair.
