San Mateo County grants $2 million for SMCCCD Prom

San Mateo County grants $2 million for SMCCCD Promise Scholar Program

500 perspective students in the program will be awarded free education

By: Steven Rissotto, News Editor

The San Mateo County Community College District has received a $2 million grant from San Mateo County to send 500 incoming students to school tuition-free, district and county officials announced Monday during a press conference at Skyline College.
David Canepa, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, made the announcement in front of county and district officials, along with a small group of students. Canepa cited the transaction as a key part of the county’s COVID-19 response and education relief plan.
“We talk about equity and we talk about issues,” Canepa said. “This community college district is at the forefront of making sure our young adults and adults have the opportunity.”
The investment will be for those students who choose to enroll in the district’s Promise Scholars Program, which offers up to three years of scholarship and comprehensive support for first-time, full-time students. The goal of the program is to take the financial burden off of students, in an effort to help them concentrate on academics and their future endeavors, rather than having to worry about transportation costs and textbook fees.
“The county has given a big vote of confidence in our community colleges, and especially our local students,” said SMCCCD Chancellor Michael Claire. “We know this program works, and we know this funding will help educate critical workforce for San Mateo County.”
The program features 150 students per counselor. This allows students enrolled to stay on top of their academics and reach out for extra support if needed.

Godzilla vs Kong: Movie Review By: Zack Navarra, R

Godzilla vs Kong: Movie Review
By: Zack Navarra, Reporter

The newest installment of the Monsterverse is here featuring the long awaited showdown between Godzilla and King Kong.

2021 roars into action with the release of the highly anticipated action blockbuster: “Godzilla vs. Kong”
Three years after Godzilla heroically defended humanity from King Ghidorah, the relative peace is broken when the Alpha Titan turns his atomic breath on the very people he fought to protect. Godzilla’s rampage at an Apex Cybernetics site in Pensacola Florida sends the world into panic. Apex Cybernetics, spearheaded by CEO Walter Simmons (Demián Bichir), announces plans to build a superweapon capable of defeating Godzilla.
Simmons commissions an expedition into the Primordial Realm, the hollow center of the earth believed to be where the Titans originated, to find an energy source strong enough to power the superweapon. Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgård), a discredited expert on the Primordial Realm, is tasked with leading the expedition. Lind seeks the help of his former colleague, Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall), a lead scientist at the Kong Containment Facility on Skull Island. The team forcefully enlists the help of Kong, believing he will be able to lead them through the unexplored realm.
Meanwhile, Mark Russell’s daughter, Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown), teams up with a little-known conspiracy theorist podcaster, Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry) to find out the true intentions behind Apex’s secret operations.
With Kong leaving the safety of Skull Island, the two Titans are bound on a collision course destined to reignite their ancient rivalry.

Pacifica marches against Asian American hate

In response to the surge of attacks, Pacificans are eager for solidarity and change

By: Steven Rissotto, News Editor

A group of people marched in Pacifica on Saturday, standing against the ongoing hate crimes and violence targeting Asian Americans in the United States.
The march started at the Pacifica Community Center, where masked participants gathered together to walk with supportive signs across Highway 1 as members of Pacifica’s police force assisted by blocking off approaching traffic on both sides. The group walked along the Linda Mar Beach trail, later wrapping up in Rockaway Beach.
Marchers held homemade signs that had anti-Asian hate messages on them, such as “White supremacy is a virus” and “Racism is not born, it’s taught”.

The Lost Basketball Season at Skyline By: Arman A

The Lost Basketball Season at Skyline

By: Arman Archouniani, Reporter

With all the uncertainty the team had to deal with, academics was getting them through all the questions. Next year they look to bounce back with a motivated squad.

This has been a lost season for the Skyline Basketball team, as there will not be an official league year — only a couple of scrimmages to happen in May, assuming everything goes well.
There have been many questions over the past couple of months concerning whether or not there will be an official season, yet with all the interactions and practices the team has had outdoors, they have learned to cherish all of it. Every team meeting, practice, and get-together is great because these guys get to step out and spend quality time with each other. The players have been really anxious to see the results play out in their favor, but have been trying to stay focused on academics.
“I just make sure I get my work done for sure, and get my work in for basketball,” said second-year guard David Avak. “Both must be done, but only one is affected by the uncertainty regarding the season. The uncertainty just makes me anxious. I am more calm now because I’m sort of realizing it is more about the destination than the journey.”
The freshmen entering the program have been learning how to deal with not experiencing an official season, while also making sure to keep sharpening their skills no matter the circumstances.

Looking back: A full year of distance learning at

Looking back: A full year of distance learning at SMCCCD

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an uproar of change from an education standpoint.

Christian Carlo Ceguerra, Features Editor|

It has been more than 365 days ever since the San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD) decided to suspend face-to-face learning instruction as a precaution against the threat of the COVID-19.
Cherie Colin, Skyline College’s director of community relations and marketing, revealed that there had been a decline to the number of enrollments and full-time students across the district’s three campuses for fall 2020.

In contrast, Skyline College has had a slight increase in the number of enrolled students for spring 2021, but has lower enrollments in courses this semester, which school officials suspect “has something to do with the pandemic.”
“In both fall 2020 and spring 2021, course enrollments were down by 9.3%, at the same time that the total number of enrolled students rose,” Colin said. “This means that while the college had more students, on average, those students were taking fewer classes.”

Marketing’s role in the secularization of Easter

Marketing’s role in the secularization of Easter.

Corporate marketing has helped to influence the traditions we hold during Easter.

By: Zack Navarra.

With Easter fast approaching, America will be getting ready to celebrate Christianity’s holiest day… Or will it?
Christians across the country will be celebrating on Sunday to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ; yet with each new year, broader American culture has put less emphasis on Easter’s religious value, while putting more on its secular aspects.
The decline of Christianity in the United States is a clear factor contributing to why a bunny that lays eggs gets increasingly more attention than the resurrection of Christ. According to Pew Research, over the past decade, there has been a 12% decline in Americans who identify as Christian, with only 65% of Americans self-identifying as such as of 2019.
However, the majority of Americans still believe in Christianity; therefore, something else must be causing this acceleration of secularization. In order to deduce what this X factor may be, it is useful to look at a similar holiday with massive cultural influence: Christmas.
An article from Vox details how American Christmas underwent secularization in the early 19th century: A mass media campaign was used to transform the holiday from one commemorating the birth of Jesus to one centered around the flight of Santa’s reindeers.
“Washington Irving’s 1822 Bracebridge Hall stories, which referenced ‘ancient’ Christmas traditions that were, in fact, Irving’s own invention; Clement Clarke Moore’s 1822 poem ‘The Night Before Christmas’; and, of course, Charles Dickens’s 1843 ‘A Christmas Carol’,” the article reads. “Nearly everything we think we know about Christmas, from the modern image of Santa Claus to the Christmas tree, derives from the 19th century, specifically, Protestant sources, who redeemed Christmas by rendering it an appropriate, bourgeois family holiday.

House passes DREAM Act Umaima Ejaz, Editor in Chi

House passes DREAM Act

Umaima Ejaz, Editor in Chief

After more than a year of uncertainties looming over those to whom the DREAM Act applies, the House acted to permanently protect its “Dreamers” on March 18.
In a close-call vote of 228 to 197, the House passed the DREAM Act, making way for more than 2.5 million undocumented immigrants who arrived in the US as children.
While this is a huge milestone for “Dreamers”, people are still skeptical about it being passed in the Senate. The bill lacks the bipartisan support that it requires to pass in the senate. Chad Thompson, director of SparkPoint at Skyline College and an administrative supervisor for the DREAM Center, said he was concerned about what the future holds for the bill, despite it moving forward to the Senate.
“I’m also worried that we’re going to have a lot of sadness and a lot of frustration with hitting walls again,” Thompson said. “There are glimmers of hope, there’s a spotlight, but there’s language here seems to be a roadblock.”

Skyline community reacts to SMCCCD extending distance learning.

The district’s extension will last through fall of 2021.
By: Holden McCandless, Reporter.

In the wake of the San Mateo Community College District announcing the extension of distance learning through the fall 2021 semester, the Skyline College community has mixed feelings about the decision.
Just a few weeks ago, the district announced that its three colleges — Skyline College, the College of San Mateo, and Cañada College — would continue most classes online, with exceptions for classes in healthcare, emergency services, transportation, and essential STEM labs. The district is also continuing to provide essential services to students, such as their Drive-Up Wi-Fi and free food distribution, and the colleges are loaning equipment like computers to students.

Some in the Skyline community agree that the continuance of distance learning is necessary. Skyline student Christian Martin Tabbada described what his reaction was upon having gotten word of the decision.
“I was honestly not surprised,” Tabbada said. “Even though we have vaccines rolling out, it’s still kind of a risk to have a lot of students on campus.”
Additionally, others, such as Skyline oceanography professor Malori Redman, are worried about the effects that going back to campus would have on the classes.
“Guidelines put in place would slash my class sizes tremendously,” Redman said. “Additionally, with the new strains emerging, it seems better to do the safe thing.”

“Florals… for spring? Groundbreaking.” -“T

“Florals… for spring? Groundbreaking.” -“The Devil Wears Prada”.
Put away your winter gear, including those UGGs, because spring is here. But fret not, because your favorite Lululemons and denim jackets go all year long. Your turtlenecks, sweaters and rainboots are still acceptable, because we can expect spring showers. During your spring cleaning, make sure to get rid of those old clothes, and make room for these new trends.
According to Vogue, trousers are the new replacers for sweats. I can agree with this, since they are both equally comfortable. Trousers also have the ability to transform your outfit into a classy, sophisticated and comfortable look. Get ready to turn heads and bring a fun experience to your closet. Another trend to expect are psychedelic prints. Have you always wanted to experiment with your clothing? Well, now is the time, because prints are in, so don’t be afraid to mix and match. Get your shopping carts ready, because Vogue predicts puffy sleeves this season. Prepare for a sensible style with a Victorian attitude.
Thanks to daylight saving time, we will be seeing more sunlight. This is good news for all the dresses and skirts that have been hiding in your closet. Who What Wear shared their suggestions on spring trends, and wearing sheer garments is one of them. I stand with this idea, because you can layer and wear a sheer blouse underneath your dresses or t-shirts! Colors to look out for are lime green, tangerine and bubblegum pink — Adopt this fun idea and stand out in a crowd. A trend that I look forward to are knee-highs. Whether it’s boots or knee-high socks, it will for sure flare up your outfit.
Forbes might have said it best as to what’s to come this spring. First up are corsets. We saw this trend briefly at the end of last summer, but it looks like they’re back again, a season early this time. Coming second and third are square toe shoes and cool cutouts in clothing. The fourth trend is the baggy look — Put this in effect with pants of choice or a vintage tee.

From basketball to self-driving cars Meet the Sky

From basketball to self-driving cars

Meet the Skyline alumnus and his endeavor to revolutionize the automotive technology.

Etienne Boutan attended Skyline from 2013 to 2014. His interest in technology led to him choosing to study in California. Whilst playing basketball as a shooting guard at Skyline College, Boutan found a passion for the tech industry, and is now a co-founder and chief financial officer of the startup company Heex Technologies.
Heex Technologies is a software company that helps development teams select the important data in autonomous vehicles. The company helps development teams work faster and more efficiently in order to develop an algorithm for the autonomous vehicle. It is based in France, but worked with US-based programs such as Plug in Play Program, Microsoft for Startups’ autonomous driving program and Nvidia Inception.
Once in San Francisco, Boutan connected to networks in the area, seeking to find out what problems engineers in tech companies were facing. One of the engineers Boutan met talked about the difficulty in accumulating all the data from the autonomous vehicles’ algorithms.
“To give a perspective of the amount of data, the amount of data accumulated for an hour of driving by a single vehicle will take at least four days to be sent with perfect 4G connection, which is huge,” Boutan said. “So the guys had to actually take the hard drives to data centers and work on it, and we thought there was an opportunity there.”
Thus, the idea to start a data management company was born.
Boutan, Bruno Mendes Da Silva, and Arnaud de La Fortelle started the company in March 2019. Da Silva came up with the idea of the name Heex, an alternation of the letter X, intended to symbolize technology and sustainability crossing over and meeting together.

SMCCCD crime report shows sharp decrease in crimes

SMCCCD crime report shows sharp decrease in crimes over recent years

The 2020 report has vastly different statistics than the previous one from 2017.

By: Steven Rissotto.

27 crimes were reported to district officials across Skyline College and College of San Mateo from 2017 to 2019, the San Mateo Community College Public Safety Department announced in their annual security report.
The number of crimes disclosed in the report has sharply decreased from the 65 crimes that took place from 2014 to 2016, which was announced in the 2017 report. All of the incidents that have occurred within the three years of tracking have all been categorized as having taken place on campus grounds.
18 of the 27 crimes came from the College of San Mateo. In 2017, the school reported one report each of fondling, aggravated assault, and motor vehicle theft. In 2018, there was another incident of fondling, one instance of stalking, two liquor law violations, and nine robberies. In 2019, two robberies were reported.
There were just nine criminal reports at Skyline College in San Bruno, half the amount at CSM over the period. In 2017 there were two burglaries, one report of arson activity, and two dating violence reports. In 2018, there was a motor vehicle theft. From 2017 to 2019, one domestic violence incident was reported each year.
The recent report showed that zero crimes were reported at Cañada College in Redwood City from 2017 to 2019. From 2014 to 2016, nine crimes were reported.
“Crime trends on campus, as well as nationwide, vary over time for numerous factors,” said Jim Vangele, Skyline’s Captain of Public Safety. “Changes in law and reporting classifications, enrollment and population levels, modernization of facilities creating a more secure infrastructure, targeted patrol activity based on crime statistics, as well as many other variables, can cause a fluctuation in the total number of crimes reported.”

San Mateo County police departments vs. COVID-19

San Mateo County police departments vs. COVID-19

How does implementing law and order changed amid the threats of the global pandemic

By: Holden McCandless, Reporter

In the face of the world turning over, guides for police departments to follow to navigate the pandemic have been published by local organizations, cities, counties, and even the United Nations in their document “Police Planning During a COVID-19 Pandemic”, which was released in April 2020. The document outlines a variety of guidelines, designed to be applicable to police departments around the world.
The biggest changes they recommend are the usage of PPE, or personal protective equipment, and the allocation of resources to the enforcement of public health orders. They also recommend that the police force be the “main interface” for the community to ask questions and receive assistance, and provide a list of calls in which to expect an increase, such as domestic violence, human trafficking, and civil unrest.
In the local community, similar alterations to those recommended by the United Nations are observed. Corporal Mark Kosta of the South San Francisco Police Department (SSFPD)’s Community Relations Division spoke about how their department enforced San Mateo County’s stay-at-home order and other restrictions during the beginning of the pandemic.
“During the early stages of the pandemic, the SSFPD took on the role of facilitator for the guidelines set forth from County and State Health officials,” Kosta said. “In many ways, we are trained for this; however, a pandemic of this magnitude was unprecedented for many of us as first responders in the Bay Area.”
The chief of police at the Pacifica Police Department, Dan Steidle, echoed similar sentiments in a video released to the department’s Facebook page in March.

KTP and FSU clubs speak out against Asian American

KTP and FSU clubs speak out against Asian American Attacks

The ongoing trend of violence towards Asian Americans has been nationwide

Two Filipino-American student organizations in the San Mateo Community College District released a statement on March 7 regarding the recent attacks against Asian Americans across the country.
In a joint statement, the Filipinx Student Union at Skyline College and Katipunan at the College of San Mateo expressed their concern about the spike of violent hate crimes against Asian Americans, particularly against elderly individuals within the community. In the statement, they focused on denouncing white supremacy and finding solutions to end all racially-motivated attacks.
“Because of these recent attacks, the injustices that AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) members have been enduring for centuries has finally been brought to the forefront of BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color)’s fight against racism,” the statement said.
According to a study conducted by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernandino, the hate crimes against Asian Americans have skyrocketed nearly 120% in 2020 compared to the results in 2019. The study concentrated on 16 of the US’ largest cities.
“Our goal, to me, was making sure that the statement not only continues conversations but to uplift stories with hope,” said Angeli Ong, Katipunan’s president. “Making sure that we say stories with meaning not only to spread the word but remind ourselves how we can change, heal, or forgive that.”
The Filipinx Student Union and Katipunan believe the misconceptions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the controversial comments made by US leaders have played a decisive role in the rise in hate crimes.
