LBCC men’s water polo team dominated against Chaffey 23-6 on September 18th.
Attacker Sandro Pueyo was the first to score without assistance, leading the Vikings to a strong start.
After the first period, the Vikings were in the lead with a 10-1 lead.
At the beginning of the second period, attacker Taras Myronov scored, assisted by goalie Diogo Checchinato, giving the Vikings a strong start.
“We’re focusing on center and counter-attacks,” Michael Trujillo said.
After the game’s third period, the Vikings extended their lead to 20-6.
“The game was a lot different than other games because we learned how to play together, so it was more of a learning experience than going as hard as we can,” utility player Matthew Kingston said.
The Vikings’ teamwork was consistently highlighted throughout the game, as 13 players scored at least one goal.
Those who didn’t score assisted other teammates in making goals or ensuring that Chaffey didn’t steal the ball.
“The team worked on connecting and getting stronger as a team,” Director of Aquatics Bradley Adamson said.
Adamson and Kingston both relayed that the main focus for the whole team was working together and connecting as a team.
However, Adamson wanted more and discussed how the team could improve.
“The team could use more conditioning,” Adamson said
The Vikings men’s water polo team has a record of 7-2 and will play again on October 9th against Rio Hondo.
The LBCC women’s volleyball team swept Rio Hondo in three sets on Friday to extend their winning streak to 11 games and keep their undefeated season status alive.
Sophomore opposite hitter Alanna Jones led the offense with 10 kills while Ryannah Gagau and Jubilee Allen both had 8.
Tainea Allen contributed with 7 kills of her own, while Alexandra Rosquin and Tyreana Allen combined for 6. Hadassah Odeyale, Danika Iosua, and Cynthia Hinojosa each had one.
Overall, head coach Tyler Jackson was proud of the way her team executed their game plan, especially while missing key starter Enaya Vaielua.
“We’ve been practicing a lot of different plays at practice but today one of our main starters was out. So just being able to execute what they’ve learned without one of our starters says a lot about these girls,” Jackson said.
In the first set, the Vikings started a bit slow but quickly established a 5-0 run to make the score 15-5.
After Rio Hondo was able to score four more points the Vikings picked up the pace and ended the set with a sizable 25-9 win.
Even though the first set started a little shaky for the Vikings, Freshman setter Camille Agrupis said their constant communication on the court helps them re-establish their rhythm and keep them competitive.
“There was a lot of communication on the court. I had a lot of communication with my middle. I had somewhat of a struggle in the first set but as we kept communicating I eventually got the connection stable,” Agrupis said.
She attributed the team’s success this season to their chemistry during intense moments of play and their willingness to help each other out when they’re struggling on the court.
“I always talk to my teammates and we can see it on each other’s faces when we need each other and they’re like ‘Hey I’m right here I got you on this next set, don’t worry about it’. I mean my teammate AJ was there for me today. She knows I was struggling a little bit and I love that she was there to help,” Agrupis said.
In the second set, the Vikings went on an early 7-0 run to make the score 12-3 with the help of three aces by Ryannah Gagau.
The Vikings also intensified their defensive effort in the second set. The team only allowed Rio Hondo 7 points, the lowest score in the entire game.
The Road Runners had no answer for sophomore Kaylani Moncada who led the Vikings with a team-high 13 digs and 4 assists to seal the lead.
The Vikings ended the second set with a 25-7 victory after a huge kill by Alanna Jones.
Set three was a little more competitive in the beginning but a 6-0 Vikings run made the score 9-3. Rio Hondo would only score 7 more points before the Vikings completed the sweep with a 25-10 score.
After the game, Moncada said that the team has a couple of pre-game exercises they do that help them stay calm during intense moments on the court.
“An hour before our game days we all have a meeting and we do mental exercises and that helps us a lot. So that transfers to our games and it keeps us calm. We all pray together too and I think that’s the top thing that keeps us calm,” Moncada said.
Coach Jackson said she’s excited about next week’s game versus Mt. Jacinto and she and the team will be preparing early for it.
The Vikings’ next home game will be on October 4th against L.A. Harbor at 6 pm.
LBCC women’s water polo team pulled off a dominant 24-3 win over Pasadena on Wednesday to add to their impressive 11-1 overall record this season.
Freshman attacker Madalyn Barley began the game with a goal within the first 15 seconds of play and scored two more to help the Vikings establish a 16-2 lead to end the first quarter.
Leilani Sanchez, a freshman attacker from Lakewood High School led the game in scoring with six goals.
Five goals were made in just two quarters to improve the lead to 21-3.
Sanchez also had six assists and one block that helped the team seal the win against the Lancers.
Center Wendy Garcia and attacker Avery White both had 4 goals each while Gabrielle Gillott, Jasmine Lopez, Jovana Bogosavljevic, and Maya Lopez combined for 7 points.
A key factor in the win was a great defensive effort from goalkeepers Marlene Isaacson and Janay Robertson who combined for nine saves and only allowed Pasadena to score three times despite many attempts.
The win brought the Vikings’ in-season record to 2-0 and overall to 11-1, with their only loss being against Riverside.
“Our conference games are usually like this but when we get to the playoffs it gets a lot more competitive,” sophomore Olivia Slavens said.
Roberson credited team chemistry as a big reason for their success this season.
“Our team’s strength is just chemistry and awareness on the court. I think that since we have good relationships outside of just water polo practice and we hang out outside of this it’s really good for us during games,” Roberson said.
After a dominant win, freshman attacker Jennifer Conelly said she’s excited to play teams that offer a little more competitiveness and intensity later on in the season.
“We lost to Riverside the first time and beat them the second time so we’re one and one with them. Santa Barbara was ranked first in the state so it was cool beating them and I’m sure the next time we play them they’re gonna come out with a lot more fire and it’ll be a more intense and competitive game than the first,” Connelly said.
The Vikings’ next home conference game is against Rio Hondo on October 9th at 3 pm.
LBCC has implemented a safety initiative called the Campus Safety Escort Program in which campus security is made available to walk students from their classes to their cars after their evening classes.
A report on campus safety made during a Board of Trustees meeting in September showed that crime rates have been on a downward trend since 2019, and a majority of the crimes reported were against LBCC property.
In the report, Brandon Deis, a lieutenant at LBPD, said there was a 29% decrease in crime when compared to last year’s figures.
“A majority of incidents that are reported to police are not always crime,” Deis said. “Some are things we wanted to document like arguments and disputes that we wanted to make sure everyone is aware of.”
The Safety Escort program goes unnoticed by many students and is a tool for all staff and students.
The service can be requested by calling the number 562-938-4100 and is in operation Monday through Friday from 6-11 p.m.
Jonathan Allen, a police officer who works in the LBCC Public Safety department, said the program should be more publicized so that more students know about it.
“Students do call, whenever students need us they usually call late at night,” Allen said.
Ashby Johnson is a senior that attends a night class at the Trade Tech and Community Learning Campus, formerly known as PCC, for extra credit and was not aware of the campus safety initiative.
While Johnson feels comfortable at TTC while taking a nighttime class, the experience was different at other colleges.
“I have been approached at Cal State Long Beach when walking from my high school to the bus stop by people trying to get me into their dorms,” Johnson said. “It made me very uneasy.”
Many students feel at ease knowing there is someone they can turn to should they have a need to.
“I would definitely tell my friends who are coming here next semester about this program,” Johnson said.
“I would love it if she used the program, ”said LBCC student Daniel Lopez, whose daughter is also a student.
“It’s safer, I think now my kids and somebody else’s are going to feel protected,” Lopez said.
Lopez recommends this program to students, especially young women who are scared of walking to their car alone in the dark.
A Short film dedicated to a former LBCC student who died by suicide debuted at the Art Theatre as part of a film event funded by the Long Beach Community Media Arts program.
On Sept. 12 the Art Theatre hosted a film event called “Double Date” featuring film diaries by up-and-coming directors from the Echo Park Film Center and Long Beach Media Community Arts (LBMCA) program.
The event started with film diaries featuring the works of five directors from LBMCA, inspired by the sights and sounds of Long Beach and filmed using Super 8 film.
Super 8mm is a type of motion picture film format that the filmmakers were able to create their films on due to it being funded by LBCMA.

One of these five directors was inspired to make a film called “Shrouded” in dedication to her friend and former LBCC student, Samantha Mason who committed suicide in 2019.
The filmmaker used a purposefully mundane tone that took over the film as the imagery continued to depict the healing process that occurs when an individual is undergoing such grief while still having to deal with everyday life and routines.
Some of the imagery included a lonely woman on a rock and her running in the water, both of which were used as a metaphor for the healing process that filmmaker Ansem Rhyan had to endure.
“I had to really sit with grief at the beginning of lockdown,” Rhyan said. “The hardest part about grieving is the isolation.”
The LBCMA program is part of the Echo Park Film Collective and teaches free and low cost workshops such as sewing classes, block printing, zines and much more.
Beaux Mingus is the program director and runs their Place LB location alongside Ashley Aguirre.
Their mission focuses on “giving people the resources to make art and making it as easy as possible,” said Mingus.
The LBCMA program is a donation based program that is a tool for emerging filmmakers to learn and develop their skills.
“The more participation we have the more resources we can cultivate,” said Rhyan.
Natalie Ayala was another emerging filmmaker who was able to use the program to learn how to use Super 8 film.
Ayala said that her “lack of access and imposter syndrome,” were some of her biggest deterrents in not being able to express her deep passion for film.
“This was something that melted away when I discovered Long Beach Media Arts and Place LB,” said Ayala.
Her experience in an animation class that the program offered was motivating for Ayala because of the encouragement of free expression that Place LB offers to all participants.
Place LB is located at 2172 Pacific Ave in Long Beach and is open to everyone of all ages and their hours are constantly changing, however they are updated on their Instagram page @place.lb.
Students who are interested in expressing themselves through art should check out Place LB for free and low cost classes on a variety of different workshops.
“Art is not a commodity or a concept to only be accessed by a privileged few,” said Mingus.
In a thrilling soccer match against LA Mission, LBCC secured a resounding victory with a final score of 4-1, propelled by the outstanding performance of midfielder Julian Zarate.
Zarate’s stellar display included scoring two crucial goals, setting the stage for LBCC’s triumph.
The first goal came during the 34th minute, establishing LBCC’s dominance early in the game.
LA Mission made several attempts to score in the first half, but LBCC’s goalkeeper, Abraham Ramirez, delivered exceptional saves, thwarting the opposition’s efforts.
Jose Mariscal also contributed to LBCC’s success by scoring the second goal of the half.
LA Mission managed to score a goal just before halftime, adding intensity to the contest.
In the second half, LA Mission persistently sought to score, but LBCC’s defense, supported by forward Jose Mariscal, remained resolute.
Reflecting on the game, LBCC midfielder Ever Zepeda expressed a desire for the team to improve their patience and timing in attacking moments, emphasizing the need for refinement.
“We should try to be more patient as well as find great moments to attack,” Zepeda said.
LBCC’s victory showcased the team’s skill and determination, with Zarate’s standout performance playing a pivotal role in securing the win.
Head coach Jorge Reyes highlighted a moment of complacency before halftime, stressing the importance of consistent engagement throughout the entire game.
“The guys are young so sometimes they need to be reminded they can’t just turn it off they have to stay engaged the whole game,” Reyes said.
Goalkeeper Abraham Ramirez also noted the team’s need to improve their reactions to referees’ calls and maintain a positive mindset.
“The way we react needs to start being positive and we need to stay locked in,” Ramirez said.
LBCC Men’s Soccer is gearing up for an upcoming game against Cerritos at Cerritos College on Oct. 8th at 4 pm.
Sounds of traditional mariachi flooded LBCC’s campus during the Latinx heritage month kick-off event on Sept. 17, which included free food, live entertainment and various booths that encompassed Latinx culture.
The mariachi band was dressed in traditional attire which consisted of black fitted suits with intrinsic gold embroidery while playing the song, “Cielito Lindo,” which serves as a symbol of Mexican nationalism.
“It’s so great that we are having this beautiful Latino and Hispanic month. We are committed to serving our Hispanic students through these events and programs. Today let us celebrate our cultural togetherness,” Board of Trustees Vice President, Virginia Baxter said.
Rather than explaining the event as a way to celebrate cultural differences, she expressed the overall importance of celebrating and acknowledging the culture of others in order to form a stronger community.
“I initially came for an extra credit assignment for one of my classes, but now that I’m here, I’m also going to use it to better understand my culture,” LBCC student Melanie Moreno said.
Everyone seemed to have a different purpose for attending the event, but many students gathered in a line that stretched all the way to Carson Street for free birria de res.

Alongside the food truck were numerous booths there to support LBCC in the making of the kick-off, as well as gather volunteers for upcoming events based on their organization.
One of these booths represented the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) that is located in Long Beach.
The Visitor Services Associate Lead and Membership Manager, Jasmine Cramer was there to spread the news about the museum, new exhibits, along with volunteer opportunities with the organization.
“I feel like a lot of people, while they’re from Long Beach, they don’t visit the MOLAA, and I’m here to show them that the museum is available for them to check out and is accessible for everyone,” Cramer said.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and they offer free entry every Sunday.
“I want to show what we’re doing while also promoting cool events that help build communities and educational tools to help people learn more about their culture or other people’s culture. Overall enhancing the community,” said Cramer.
There was also the Latina’s Art Foundation, a non-profit organization that hosts art and dance classes in the Paramount school district.

Andrea Mercado is a member of the foundation who was helping run the booth, and this was the first time they ever attended the kick-off event at LBCC.
“We host a two-day event in Paramount to celebrate the Day of the Dead. We’re looking for volunteers and vendors. We normally have a big volume of people come by and provide traditional dancing, mariachi, and a closing ceremony,” Mercado said.
The kick-off event brought a small yet enthusiastic crowd to dance and celebrate alongside the mariachi and other performances.
The universal story of the search for power and unchecked greed, Long Beach City College’s Theater Department rehearsed the darkly comedic play “Ubu Roi” for its debut October 3-6.
“Given the current political cycle, it’s important that we do this play. There are many parallels between Papa Ubu (the main character in Ubu Roi) and Donald Trump and any leader in their all-consuming effort to gain power,” director of “Ubu Roi” and professor at Long Beach City College Collin Bressie said.
The first showings of “Ubu Roi” in 1896 were highly controversial, with the very first night starting a riot in the theater that spilled out onto the streets of Paris.
“It shows the absurdity of authority and grotesque human ambition,” Bressie said.
“This play comments on the power of corruption. When they first started showing “Ubu Roi” it’s like (the viewers) had the mirror held up to them for the first time,” said Bressie.
Bressie’s knowledge of the history and meaning of the play only showcases his dedication to his craft.
Bressie wanted to direct a “different style of theater that students don’t always get to tackle.”
“Ubu Roi is the foundation of absurdist theater, and absurdist theater isn’t being produced everywhere,” Bressie said.
Venus Robertson, who plays Cotice, described her character as a soldier who isn’t as brave as he seems.
“Cotice is one of King Ubu’s soldiers and trusted men. Cotice tries to be a tough, protecting soldier, but in reality, he is such a chicken,” said Robertson.
Desmond Guerrero, who plays General Laski, originally auditioned for Papa Ubu, the lead role.
“Papa Ubu seems so afraid of himself. He has no redeeming factors,” said Guerrero.
“Ubu Roi” is sure to be a new experience for viewers.

“I’ve been acting since high school. I’ve never done anything like this. Be prepared and embrace the craziness that comes at you. It’s the crazy that you fall in love with,” said Robertson.
Both Guerrero and Robertson had similar takes on how viewers should go into watching the play.
“Have an open mind, expect the unexpected because it’s a rollercoaster,” said Guerrero
“Ubu Roi” will have five showings at the Bob and Barbara Ellis Auditorium at the Liberal Arts Campus starting October 3 and ending October 6.
A 60-hour audio recording of a mother birthing her daughter, as well as an interactive piece that asked attendees how they had cared for someone that day, are some works currently on display in the K Building Art Gallery.
Created by two mother and daughter duos, these works are part of the gallery’s latest exhibit “Natural Encounters,” which serves to represent sustainability while also pushing for social change.
Mothers and daughters share a very special bond, and these artists created pieces of work that represent how each of them influence the other throughout their creative process.

Artist Carolina Montejo, and her 11-year-old daughter, Olivia Utt-Montejo were both at the opening ceremony and shared the context behind much of their work, especially when it came to the piece that drew eyes from all around the room.
The art piece was a collaboration between all four artists and consisted of multiple toys, clothing, and other recycled objects from Utt-Montejo’s childhood.
These objects were arranged to resemble her room as she’s grown up, with the addition of an old television that played back a video with her responses on war, peace and freedom.
Hanging above the piece in plastic bags were repurposed childhood drawings which were hung up to resemble clouds in order to draw into the sustainability aspect of their art.
Art Gallery Manager Karla Aguiniga explained how the piece represented the little world that the four artists created in response to what Utt-Montejo spoke about in the video.
“If we want to get out of this destructive capitalist cycle that’s destroying the environment, we have to be nurturing,” said Aguiniga.
Olivia Utt-Montejo is only 11 years old, yet she had so much to say in regard to her mother’s art and all the pieces that she helped create.
“I really do love art, both physical pieces and music, I’m actually learning to play the guitar right now. I just love helping my mom and giving her my own ideas that she can combine with her work,” said Utt-Montejo.
This series of photos were taken from security footage of a local store that mother and daughter, Ana Andrade and Yatzil Uc Andrade would walk past everyday on their way to and from school. These images alongside other art pieces were showcased as part of the Natural Encounters Art Gallery. (Samantha Navarro)
Alongside the artwork was a video that played an adaptation of Utt-Montejo’s favorite childhood lullabies, “Los Pollitos” which is about a mother hen caring for her newborn chicks.
The idea of mothering was a very important aspect of the exhibition, and one interactive piece that catered to this idea was labeled, “How have you mothered today?”
Artist Carolina Montejo explained the piece in a concise yet comprehensible phrase in which she said, “What have you mothered? Mothering is genderless, mothering isn’t familiar.”
The initially blank piece was accompanied by a table filled with different colored pencils and sheets of paper that allowed visitors to draw examples of how they “mothered” that day, which were all eventually taped onto the wall.
This was meant to emphasize how characteristics of being a mother do not need to coincide with having a child of your own nor being a certain gender, some examples displayed were the watering of plants and even nurturing oneself.
Montejo also displayed the 60-hour recording from her labor, allowing people to listen and understand what it is like to be in the womb.
Montejo considers the recording to be her very first collaboration with her daughter.
Another piece in the gallery consists of multiple pieces of paper, each one organized by the written timestamps.
Lolita Mojica, a volunteer at the opening reception, explained that the timestamps were used to mark each time the artist was having a contraction during her labor.
“You can see how the pain progressed as the coloring on the pages got more chaotic and aggressive,” Mojica said.
The exhibition served to portray the idea of ecofeminism as a non-hierarchical subject that the world should be working together to achieve, rather than having adults take change,
It is important to take into account the knowledge that comes from the children of the world alongside nature.
“The opinion of an 11-year-old is as valid as a 90-year-old. It is important to make nature as valid as humans,” said Aguiniga.
Update: A link to the video in which Utt-Montejo responds thoughtfully to questions about peace, war, and liberation has been added to this article.
A small group of students and community members attended Long Beach City College’s first Board of Trustees meeting on Sept. 11 to continue their calls on the school to divest funds from companies that they claim are invested in Israel’s war in Gaza.
The campaign kicked off last semester when students protested against LBCC investing funds into companies such as BlackRock.
These organizations are invested in weapons manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin, who sell fighter jets to Israel in their offensive operations in Gaza.
The group, which includes students, alumni and members of the community, are excited to get back in front of the board to push for small changes within LBCC.
“As students return to school we must be aware that many in Gaza do not have that same privilege,” said Anthony, a student protester who attended the meeting.
“Those schools have been reduced to rubble and we must keep that in mind as we attend educational institutions,” Anthony said.
The campaign’s main struggle has been helping students understand the cause and why they are calling for ethical investments.
“It just gets hard sometimes,” said Nana E, a student protester and LBCC alumnus. “People say they can’t participate because they have school and work, we have those things too.”
Student Trustee G Gonzalez arrived at the meeting wearing a Palestinian flag pin and said that he was on the Board to act as a middleman between the students and the Trustees.
“I will do everything in his power to speak to the board members and convince them to divest funds,” said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez also said that he has one-on-one meetings scheduled with each Trustee to further discuss students’ calls for divestment.
“The job of the student trustee is to be a liaison between the students and the Board.” Gonzalez said, “it’s my job to ensure their voices are heard.”
In his Student Trustee report, Gonzalez addressed the death of Aysenur Eygi, a Turkish American student activist and international volunteer who was shot by Israeli forces on Sept. 6.
“We have to acknowledge what happened. We have to acknowledge that in Gaza there is a genocide,” Gonzalez said to the board. “We have to acknowledge the power we have on the board and we have to do everything we can.”
When talking to the board, Nana compared the events in Gaza to the attacks on 9/11. She asked that the same emotions be felt when discussing her case for the scores of Palestinians killed since Oct. 7.
“It’s unconscionable to just carry on as if nothing happened,” said Nana. “When you see a kid in pieces in front of their parent and you decide to suppress that, I just can’t.”
Student activists took their chance to call out the Board of Trustees and LBCC for what they deem as hypocrisy in the formatting of their meetings and stances taken on the ongoing war in Gaza.
“Rhetoric that has been used to justify mass civilian killings in Iraq, Afghanistan, Central America, and now Palestine,” Nana said to the board. “These oversimplifications are a-historical and are not at the level of critical thinking that higher learning should aspire to.”
Trustee Sunny Zia reinforced that conversations that have been happening around the divestment effort and war in Gaza, citing the Arab Heritage month in April as a step forward in bridging the gap between the institution and students.
“We had the Arab Heritage Month and we supported our Palestinian community and beyond,” Zia said. “I’m the one who championed that month.”
When asked about the school’s investments in companies that aided Israel’s war into Gaza, Zia said that her staff looked into it and found nothing.
LBCC Trustee Herlinda Chico approached the group after the meeting to offer support and advice.
Chico suggested organizing strategies with the group and responded to some tentative demands the activists had.
She offered assistance with establishing a training workshop that could teach the community to look into the college’s finances and where they go.
“It’s all about us paying attention to our values and where we are placing our money and resources.” Chico said.
The group is calling not just for a simple divestment from BlackRock, but an investigation into each company the school pours money into.
“It’s not just about divestment from Israel, it’s about divestment from companies that are killing people,” said Nana. “That’s what this issue means to us. It’s not just about a country, it’s about our community and loved ones.”
