Diverse dances strike the stage during LBCC’s Spring Dance Ensemble 

LBCC’s Artistic Director Stephanie Powell has teamed up with JazzAntiqua and choreographers to host the 2023 Spring Dance Ensemble Concert featuring president Mike Munoz. 

The event will be running from Friday, April 21 at 7 p.m. to Saturday times at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. inside the Ellis Auditorium at the LAC campus.  

The concert will feature diverse genres of dances and music. A variety will be brought to the stage and showcased by the students of LBCC within 11 performances including a performance by the school’s faculty. 

Choreographers are able to choose their music, dance style and concepts. Being featured are dances of ballet to hip-hop and belly dance fusion, providing something to see for all groups in the audience.

Tickets will be $15 general admission which includes students and other attendees. Senior students enrolled into LBCC will be charged $10, as well as staff. High school students with a valid school ID will be able to get in for free. 

There will be snacks and drinks sold, available inside of the lobby of the auditorium. All of the sale benefits will go directly to the LBCC dance program. 

With a cast of over 40 dancers included, students and staff all devoted lots of time and energy to give their all during their performance. Students were very excited to have the amount of support from staff and superintendent-president Mike Munoz.

 “Mike Munoz, the energy he brought to the rehearsal was amazing, everyone is so wonderful and I’m blown away by how supportive everyone is,” says Jacqueline Estrada, a current dance student at LBCC who also used to be on the cheer team. 

“It’s a group effort and we want to give it our very best.” added Estrada. 

Auditions took place in February, at the beginning of the spring semester and students and staff have been devoting up to 15 hours a week for practice depending on the amount of pieces they are in, with a max of 4 pieces per student. 

Another student choreographer, Kevin Olivares, shared the amount of work being willingly devoted into the dances.

 “During the recital, hard work will be demonstrated, but also versatility, technique and artistry because being a student, lots of people think dance is just glam and tricks but it is way more than that,” said Olivares.

“People will be surprised how much art they will see on stage, it takes lots of work so expect something fun and different as well as upbeat that will make your brain think in an abstract way,” says student choreographer Michelle Rosales, elaborating on the reactions she expects the audience to have.

The show will run for 2 hours total and will have an intermission in between the performances.

The LBCC dance program is open to all auditioning students of all ages. “There are a variety of dancers and age ranges ranging from freshmans to seniors and returning students, we offer opportunities to all ages,”  says Powell.

This will not be the last of the dancers to be seen on stage, there will be the Choreographer Showcase on June 6 as well as the Fall 2023 Dance Ensemble that is already in the works.

Georgi Binev: From Bulgaria to the beach

Georgi Binev: From Bulgaria to the beach

Volleyball player Georgi Binev made a decision that most athletes would not have turned down. Instead of taking a professional contract to play volleyball, the freshman took a 6,700 mile flight from Varna, Bulgaria to further his education while playing the sport he loves at LBCC.

“It was difficult for me to play in Bulgaria and study at the same time, but education is important for me, and I couldn’t leave volleyball,” Binev said.

Binev made the decision to come to the States and pursue an education while still being able to play volleyball at a high level. He missed the deadline to apply to many four-year universities so he chose to stay close to his new home and attend LBCC. 

“It is always hard moving so far away from home, but I’d like to say that I’m very lucky to have people here who fully support and guide me. Thanks to them, I’ve been adapting way faster than I thought,” Binev said. 

Vikings Head Coach Johnathan Charette said that he knows Georgi’s godfather through the volleyball world and a coaching change at the university Georgi was supposed to attend opened up the opportunity for him to play for Long Beach

“Georgi kind of just fell in our lap to be honest. It was a nice surprise, he’s been a great kid and such a good contributor to our program,” Charette said.

Binev, a freshman, is in his first year playing volleyball in the U.S., but has already noticed differences in the volleyball culture saying, “the preparation is different, the style and the experience as well, which I think is the most important one.”

Even though there are differences, Binev is still flourishing as he leads the Western State Conference in hitting percentage and is top 10 in the conference in kills, kills per set, service aces, total blocks, solo blocks and points. 

To go along with his statistical prowess, Binev is in the Vikings’ passing line and carries a very big passing load, which is rare for an opposite hitter. 

Charette expressed his praise for Binev by saying, “he’s just contributing everywhere at the net. He may score from the service line with a serve, he might help us by passing the ball and if we set him, he’s scoring.” 

Binev, a Kinesiology major, has not decided if he wants to play professionally yet. For the time being, he plays a major role for the No 1. ranked volleyball team in the state.

Vazquez’s gutsy performance is spoiled by No. 16 El Camino in 4-3 extra inning loss

Vazquez’s gutsy performance is spoiled by No. 16 El Camino in 4-3 extra inning loss 

Sophomore pitcher Evan Vazquez’s 10 strong innings were not enough to propel the struggling LBCC offense over the El Camino College Warriors. The Warriors would prevail 4-3 after 11 innings. 

Vazquez surrendered nine hits and struck out eight while only walking one in 10 innings of work. 

This is Vazquez’s second straight start of eight innings or more with less than two walks. On top of that he has been in the lineup every game this season. “I just try to focus on every situation whether it’s on the mound or at the plate,” Vazquez said.

Over the last couple series, the Vikings have failed to bring in runners. On their three game losing streak, the Vikings have left over 10 runners on base in two of their losses.

LBCC was able to execute their offensive plays as they had multiple sacrifice bunts and a successful slash, but the Vikings are still looking for their key hit.

“We felt that Tuesday was going to be a low scoring game. We did bunt a lot. We also threw in a hit and run and a slash,” Vikings Head Coach Casey Crook said. 

The Vikings first run of the day came in the third inning when sophomore catcher Malik Clayton grounded into a double play bringing in a run.

Freshman second baseman Reef Danner led off that third inning with a single up the middle and was advanced to third by a pair of bunt singles from freshman center fielder Xander McLaurin and sophomore third baseman Justin Santoyo.

After a solo home run in the fifth and a two-run seventh inning from the Warriors, the Vikings found themselves down 3-1. 

With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the seventh inning, freshman right fielder Ryan Geck hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Danner and cutting the deficit to one.  

Freshman shortstop Olin Snakenborg would then hit a line-drive single up the middle that scored McLaurin and evened the score at three. 

Half of the Vikings 12 hits were up the middle, which is the approach at the plate Crook hones in on at practice. “We want our players to have a gap to gap, line drive approach,” Crook said.

El Camino’s sophomore reliever Pierce Kingston entered the game in the seventh and was lights out, holding the Vikings to no runs over 4.2 innings. 

Kingston would pick up the win after an 11th-inning RBI single from sophomore catcher Juan Carlos Camarena put the Warriors up 4-3. The Vikings got a runner on in the bottom half, but a double play sealed the deal for El Camino.

 “In order for us to finish the season on a high note the pitching staff is going to have to step up and pitch better,” Crook said

The Vikings look to take game two of the series on Thursday at El Camino College.

UC Berkeley guest speaker presents potential of genetically modified foods

Genetically modified DNA and plants’ potential for solving food scarcity was the topic of discussion at the inaugural Sip ‘n’ Science monthly club meeting, hosted by two LBCC science professors on March 29.

The Sip N Science monthly club event was held in the D building at the LAC campus where a nano biologist professor was invited as a guest speaker to hold a presentation on nano biology. 

This event intends to highlight not only the expertise on science related topics from highly regarded professors, but invites doctors to interact with students interested in their specific field. 

There were light refreshments, pizza, and cookies put out for students and staff members. 

Their special guest speaker at the Sip N Science event was Roxanna Coreas who is a nano biologist at UC berkeley. Coreas had a bright presence and brought energy into the room.

The evening started with 12 science trivia questions and in order to receive a prize you had to answer each question correctly. Many students were engaging and having a great time enjoying pizza and snacks.

Soon after Coreas introduced herself, she gave a light presentation on nano biology and the importance of modification of DNA and plants, students listened intently and asked questions on plant biology and nanoparticles. 

“I think we are living in a time where food scarcity is going to be a really huge problem. There’s a lot of literature out there that shows climate change, and pesticides and pathogens are basically going to decrease food productivity. So, trying to understand these modifications and manipulating these modifications so we can get increased crop yields would be beneficial. It would allow for communities that don’t have access to these types of foods, and it would benefit agricultural business,” said Coreas. 

Coreas explains why it is important to study the effects of DNA modification and plants.

Roxanna Coreas discusses her research as the primary speaker of the Sip and Science event hosted at Long Beach City College Liberal Arts Campus on March 27 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in room D104. Attendees experienced an hour of trivia and a Q&A with Roxanna Coreas to discuss the effects caused by genetically altering the DNA of plants. (Casper Torres)

The passion of  her research serves as an objective to educate students and people in general who are interested in the world of biology as well as potential solutions to upcoming future issues we might face as a society.

“I was interested in finding out more about her research with nano particles mostly because I was like ‘what are you talking about,’” Ricardo Corias, an LBCC student said. “It’s interesting to keep up with ongoing research just because they said the stuff we’re learning in class is already well established so it’s cool to apply that knowledge and step out of your comfort zone.”

Roxanna Coreas was a force with her in depth research and her identity of being a woman of color in a male dominated field. Coreas talks of her personal experience  as a scientist as well.

“I think as a scientist of color I have experienced some challenges. There are opportunities where you might feel like an outcast or not represented within the community, or your colleagues. But it’s also a moment to bring in your experiences, your culture- so it can definitely have some obstacles but huge benefits. It’s really heartwarming to see other scientists of color mentoring classes and becoming inspiring leaders.” said Coreas. 

The next Sip N Science event will be held in May with food, refreshments and exceptional guest speakers living, breathing, and consuming all things science.

No. 10 Vikings knock off Pasadena 7-3 on Sophomore Day

The Vikings put up seven runs in the fourth and fifth innings to hold off Pasadena 7-3 on Sophomore Day on Tuesday.

Sophomore starter Olivia Ramirez earned the win with her six innings of work in her last home start of her LBCC career. She gave up two runs on five hits while striking out four.

“It was a really emotional day for me. It meant a lot to be able to get the start out here. I struggled a little bit, but at the end of the day I remembered how big of a game it was and I had to dig down deep to figure out what I needed to do. It was a very emotional day for me, but I had a good time,” Ramirez said.

Pasadena scored first on a two out two run double in the third inning, but were held scoreless until the seventh.

With two outs and no one on in the fourth, freshman second baseman Jaiden Lopez recorded a hit and came around to score on another single by sophomore third baseman Alejandra Mota. 

After a walk, sophomore two-way Kirstin Sanchez came to the plate with two runners on and hit a go-ahead two run double making the score 3-2 Vikings.

When asked about her at bat Sanchez responded, “I just wanted to push through for my team. I know how important it is for us to win conference games, every game counts and I wanted to have my pitchers’ back.”

Sanchez would then move to third on a wild pitch and score on a fake steal by first baseman Gladys Garcia.

The Vikings would add on to their lead in the fifth inning on a bases loaded infield single by sophomore center fielder Alia Marquez. A Pasadena throwing error allowed for three runs to score on the play extending the Vikings lead to 7-2.

Ramirez would start the seventh inning, but was taken out after allowing the first two batters to reach base. Kirstin Sanchez came in from right field tasked with getting the last three outs of the ballgame. Pasadena struck for a run, but the Vikings held on for a 7-3 victory.

“I was hungry. I was ready to come in and dominate. I was just really excited and I knew that we had it,” Sanchez said.

With this win the Vikings now have a conference record of 16-3 and an overall record of 24-9.

They hope to add onto the win column as they play No. 3 Mt. San Antonio College on Thursday.

No. 1 LBCC sweeps ELCO for their 16th win in a row

The Vikings defeated El Camino College 3-0 on Friday wrapping up their outstanding regular season by winning their 16th game in a row

The Vikings struck first in the first set and never looked back resulting in a 25-19 first set victory. 

Freshman hitter Matthew Pennala led the team with six kills in the first set.

The second set was a much different story. It was a back and forth affair ending with the Vikings making the last run and winning the set 25-23

Near the end of the set, freshman middle Cian Slade and freshman hitter Georgi Binev put up strong blocks to secure the final two points and the set victory. 

“The first couple sets we just came out a little bit slow, and it was hard for us to climb out of that hole that we dug ourselves into,” Pennala said, “but by the third set we just had to recenter and refocus ourselves.”

The Vikings did just that in the third set as they ended the game strong with a 25-17 win.

Pennala once again dominated in kills in the third set and also assisted in some crucial blocks with freshman opposite hitter Lucca Mamone.

With the Vikings struggling to land their serves, they had to be extra solid on defense to combat the Warriors’ attacks in order to secure the win in the final set, which they did. 

“It was a great way to end our conference with this win here against El Camino at the location that’s going to be hosting playoffs,” Vikings Head Coach Jonathan Charette said. 

The win over El Camino added to the Vikings’ winning streak putting them at 16 consecutive wins and holding their spot at number one in the state at the community college level.

Over this 16 game win streak the Vikings have not lost a set. 

“We need to just have a better next play mentality, I think we were holding on to some mistakes a little too long, so we are going to need to have that skill when we start the playoffs,” Charette said. 

The Vikings are going into the playoffs with a target on their backs, as everyone is going to want to be the team to break their winning streak and take them out of the playoffs.

“We need to remember to stay vigilant, stay humble, but also stay hungry as well,” said Pennala.

The Vikings kickoff their playoff run this Friday against Santa Monica College at 6:00 p.m. at El Camino college.

Long Beach Grand Prix signals in race fans for a memorable weekend

The rhythm of IndyCars racing 200 mph through the city streets reverberated off of every corner downtown, drawing in over 192,000 fans to the Long Beach Grand Prix for a closer glimpse on April 14th through the 16th.

Many fans came to continue the tradition of attending this stimulating three-day event with their families that started generations ago.

Kyle Stansbury has been coming to the Long Beach Grand Prix since he was five-years-old. He passed on his love for racing to his daughter Addison Stansbury, who clung to an autograph she had just received from her favorite driver Rinus Veekay.

Stansbury has a tattoo of the Long Beach track on his right arm, which he had done at this Grand Prix a previous year. Pointing to a spot on the tattoo, he expressed his father’s love for the event.

“My dad’s ashes are actually in a flower bed over here. That was his favorite turn, so he put his ashes there,” Stansbury said.

The event was capped off by the final IndyCar series race, which determined the winner of the Long Beach Grand Prix on Sunday. IndyCar races were the main attraction, but the fast paced weekend also featured races with IMSA sports cars, super drift cars, stadium super trucks and historic Formula 1 cars.

On Friday night, an autograph signing in the IndyCar paddock located next to the track took place. Race fans stood in long lines that looped around the driver’s trailers to get a signature or snapshot with their favorites.

The strong connection with racing and family bonding was evident in other fans as well. Kate Hart traveled from Salt Lake City, Utah draped in an IndyCar flag. Hart hoped to get as many signatures as she could from the drivers for her sister’s 16th birthday.

The autographs may have been a gift for her sister, but Hart has been a racing fan long before this past weekend.

“I remember sitting on my grandpa’s lap since I was two-years-old watching IndyCar,” Hart said. 

Hart wasn’t the only fan that traveled miles to get to the race. Daniel Gaxiola has been a fan of the Long Beach Grand Prix since 1988. He and several family members traveled from Mexico to get a glimpse of driver Pato O’Ward before the final race.

Not all fans needed to get inside the gates for the experience. Due to the unique nature of the track winding through the downtown area, many people were able to watch from their balconies or tail-gate in the various parking structures surrounding the track. 

On-lookers attempted to stick their cellphones through the chain link fence to capture the racing that could be heard miles away.

Now that the Long Beach Grand Prix is over the noise on downtown streets has returned to a normal decibel range, but the memories that were made will linger a little longer.

A portion of survivors of the Cambodian genocide debate the Sankranta name change

A portion of survivors of the Cambodian genocide debate the Sankranta name change

Despite the controversial name change of the holiday, Cambodians attended and celebrated Sankranta in traditional attire on April 1 at LBCC’s PCC campus.

There has been much debate over whether the city of Long Beach should refer to the festivities as Cambodian New Year as opposed to Sankranta, which is an all inclusive term for Southeast Asian cultures. 

A few residents in Cambodia town preferred the festival to be named “Cambodian New Year” in the hopes of preserving their culture and pride here in Long Beach after fleeing from Cambodia to escape the Cambodian genocide.

Under communist regime,the Khmer Rouge overthrew Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia in 1975, killing about a quarter of the country’s population. 

“I feel not so happy about the title change,” said Phan Tiev, a Cambodia town resident. “I escaped from Cambodia to Thailand in 1979, we struggled a lot.”

On the other hand, other residents state they don’t have any concern over the title being Sankranta.

“New generations know about Cambodian New Year but in ancient times, older generations have heard both. Sankranta means new year,” said Sireysakayamuny B. Buddha, a monk here in Long Beach.

With the title change, many elders who have fled to Cambodia Town from the genocide begin to fear the future for the newer generations and their connection to their culture.

First generation offspring also begin to fear the future of the next generations to come.

As names are being changed and offspring of first generation people continue to reproduce, the newer generations are starting to lose their connection and identity as they are immersed into a new world.

“I am a little iffy about the next Cambodian generations, including my younger siblings, but I do make it a point for me to learn about our history,” said Alice Yuk, a Long Beach resident and  performer with the Cambodian Awareness Organization at UCI.

The Cambodian genocide has and continues to affect survivors and offspring of survivors here in Long Beach’s Cambodia Town.

Kyle Kirkwood wins the 48th Acura Long Beach Grand Prix

Kyle Kirkwood capped off his weekend with his first victory in the NTT Indycar series. After turning in his first pole position on Saturday, Kirkwood finished first at the 48th Acura Long Beach Grand Prix on Sunday.

“It’s incredible, I was trying to hold back tears in the car, that’s something I’ve never felt before,” said Kirkwood on his first NTT Indycar series win. “The next best race to win outside of this one is Indianapolis.”

Kirkwood’s perfectly timed pit stop on lap 54 allowed him to exit the pit lane and come out in front of racers Romain Grosjean and Josef Newgarden, effectively leading the race once again. After this pit stop he never gave up the lead. Kirkwood led 53 of the 85 laps.

“I was so happy with just the pole (Saturday), but this is…I’m over the moon right now,” said Kirkwood.

Kirkwood shot up 14 places and sits fifth in the NTT Indycar driver’s championship with 74 points.

Andretti Motorsport cars led the way as three of their drivers finished at 1-2-4.

Grosjean finished second for the second year in a row and Colton Herta finished fourth.

“I would lie if I said I wouldn’t have loved to be on top of the podium today and of course, I had the chance, but the way that the race turned out and the way the situation was, it wasn’t possible,” explained Grosjean.

Gene Carbonaro, dean of career and technical education at Long Beach City College presented Grosjean his second place trophy.

Marcus Ericsson of Chip Ganassi Racing finished fifth, which propelled him into the lead of the NTT Indycar Championship with 110 points.

“I think we were really strong last year. We were fighting for the championship and leading the championship for a long time. I think we’ve come out even stronger this year. We’re definitely in the fight. Leading the championship feels good, but it is a long way to go,” said Ericsson on becoming the points leader.

In second place was Pato O’Ward, who dropped a spot with his 17th place finish. O’Ward attempted to overtake Kirkwood on lap 26, but he ended up drifting backwards into the tires on turn 8 and he was never able to recover.

O’Ward is coming off of back-to-back second-place finishes and is currently in second place in the standings with 95 points. Right behind him is Alex Palou with 91.

Josef Newgarden, who was favored to win the Long Beach Grand Prix and battled with Kirkwood most of the race, was looking to secure another win for the second year in a row, but his team informed him he had to conserve fuel and he allowed other drivers to pass him up late in the race.

Newgarden finished ninth in the race and sits at fourth in the points with 89.

The NTT Indycar series continues its season on April 28 through 30 with the Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix.
