Ohlone trustees want to raise somecash from 36 acres of hillside landthe college can’t use, but the ques-tion of whether to lease it or sell itdeadlocked the board Wednesdaynight.

The focus was on a 17-acre tract.Trustee Garrett Yee and most otherboard members wanted Ohlone toretain the option of buying or sellingthe surplus property. However,Trustee Bill McMillin did not wantOhlone to sell any of the land.

Instead, he was adamant that thedistrict clearly will state that Ohloneintended to only engage in long-term-leasing. Trustee Dan Archerdisagreed. He said, “If we can get adecent price, let’s sell it.”

On a motion to amend the lan-guage to rule out a sale, Archer andYee voted no. Student Trustee

Rosmary Cordova abstained, andTrustee Nick Nardolillo was absent.Then the board moved on to theamended bill. Again, Cordova ab-stained, Archer and Yee voted no. Itneeded a two-thirds vote, so it lost.

The Board also moved discussionof another 18 acres, plus an addi-tional one-acre plot, to the next meet-ing, which will be on March 9.

Board members discussedwhether to build a cafeteria in thenew Student Support Services Build-ing on the Fremont campus, or to usethe bond money to improve thepresent cafeteria.

Trustee Bob Brunton said theboard minutes didn’t contain enoughinformation about which board mem-bers voted on what measures. OhlonePresident Doug Treadway arguedthat while the board should some-times include this information, theminutes were not meant to be a plat-form for political discussion.

Gerry Dulalia fought the law,and he just might have won.

His immigration case sitting be-fore U.S. Immigration, Customs andEnforcement has not been com-pletely adjudicated, but for now, heis on his way to securing his right tostay in the United States.

This is a quiet victory for Dulalia,a 39-year-old Ohlone deaf inter-preter, who is ecstatic about thepossibility of staying.

“The government has demonstrateda willingness to let Gerry stay,” said hislawyer, Marcia Perez, of Allen andAssociates. “I can say that Gerry and Iare very pleased with the direction this

case is taking.”The government had a status

conference with Dulalia on Feb.16, where an informal decision wasmade to allow him to stay and workin the United States under a specialnon-citizen, non-resident status. Afinal and formal decision will bemade at an April 1, court hearing.

Initially, Dulalia was supposedto become an American citizen byvirtue of his father’s American citi-zenship. But due to a technicalitystemming from his father’s natu-ralization, he was unable to apply.Then the U.S. began deportationproceedings against him.

The case for Dulalia to stay is anappeal for asylum on humanitariangrounds, as he is one of only 10 or

so interpreters in the Bay Area whois able to translate for those who areboth deaf and blind.

Then the government droppedits case against Dulalia.

This unexpected decision wasdue in no small part to the waves ofsupport for Dulalia from his Ohloneand deaf community.

“Gerry and I are very thankful foreveryone’s support,” Perez said. “Ibelieve your letters on his behalf andcalls to Congressman (Pete) Starkmade a difference and tipped thescales in Gerry’s favor.”

For Dulalia, politics has played apart in his ability to stay, but he willbe able to thank some of his support-ers: “I am grateful to be able to stayand continue to teach my students.”

Bill would increase funding for Ohlone Health CenterEDITOR:

This is a huge thing. I am look-ing for anyone who would be will-ing to help us convince our legisla-tors to allow the California Com-munity Colleges to charge thosestudents who receive BOG waiversfinancial aid to pay the measly $13student health fee.

The bill in question is AB982.Currently, if students even show

$1 of need, they do not have to paythe student health fee, but have fullaccess to the health center services.

Throughout the years I have sur-veyed many students who are onfinancial aid and none of themwould have any problem paying

the fee for the amount of servicethey receive.

In fact, more often than not, theyare the students who need our ser-vices the most because they haveno other access to affordable healthcare.

Without us they would eitherignore their health issues, whichcould lead to more serious prob-lems, or go to the ER, which couldrun into hundreds of dollars. Sixtypercent of our students do not haveany health insurance and do notqualify for Medi-Cal under Cali-fornia guidelines. They either haveto have children, be over 65, havekidney failure, or be on kidney di-alysis to qualify.

The bill, AB982, that all of thecommunity colleges have beenstruggling to get passed is finallyon the roster and the more peoplewe have respond to the issue, themore likely it will pass and thehealth services will be able to con-tinue.

The Ohlone Student Health Cen-ter is in dire budget straits, with thelower enrollment, the end to a hugegrant, and tuition increase whichqualifies more students for finan-cial aid. With the lack of funds, Iam having to cut my part time nursepractitioner, our health educator,our HIV tester, and all health edu-cation programs.

We are totally supported by the

student health fee, so we truly needall we can get. From that health feewe pay all salaries, utilities, sup-plies, equipment repair, physicianconsultation, over-the-countermedications, condoms, and all pro-motional material for the healthcenter and educational activities.

So please, let me know if you arewilling to help in any way. I amplanning on putting a packet to-gether and visiting State Sen. LizFigueroa and Rep. Pete Stark, 13thDistrict. This issue has come andgone on the radar at the Chancellor’soffice for years, so while we havethe chance we need to jump.

My goal is to keep our studentsas healthy and productive as I can

so that they may learn preventionas well and self care so they maycomplete their education and be-come contributing members of so-ciety.

Remember, for every studentwe don’t see who goes to the ER orurgent care, eventually the cost ispassed on to us whether it is througha state program or a write-off forthat institution. They just raise thefees so the rest of us pick up the tabwith higher premiums or in ourtaxes.

Thanks for reading this.

Men’s basketball ends season with a lossBy BRENDEN BLAKEStaff writer

The 2005 Ohlone Renegadesmen’s basketball regular seasoncame to an end Saturday night witha 92-64 loss at the hands of ChabotCollege. In a sloppy game full ofturnovers and miscues, Chabot’sability to successfully shoot the threepointer turned out to be the differ-ence.

“We knew how well they shot thethree coming into the game” saidOhlone coach John Peterson. “Ob-viously, that turned out to be a fac-tor.”

Guard Raymond Chavis had 15points, as he shot 5 of 8 from behindthe three-point arc, including a four-minute stretch to close the first halfin which he hit three in a row. Duringthat stretch Chabot built a 23-pointhalftime lead, and never looked backin the second half.

Guard Chris Burnett led the Ren-

egades in scoring with 21 points,including an impressive 6 for 9performance from behind the threepoint line. Two other Renegadesfinished in double figures. ForwardAndy Bocian, and guard Ryan Coo-per both had 12 points.

In a season that had several keyplayers go down with injuries,Ohlone still managed to finish at.500 with a record of 13-13, and 5-5 in league play.

“We had a lot adversity this year,as far as injuries go,” said forwardAndy Bocian, who led the team inscoring with 17 points per game,despite missing seven games with aback injury. “It really hurt us inleague when Jason (Bull) went downwith an ankle injury,” added Bocian.Other key injures were center KevinJohnson, who missed four gameswith a groin injury, and guard SamKim who initially played through abroken wrist, but was eventually side-lined for the last five games.

In a season that had its share ofdisappointments, the Renegadesalso had some highs, including animpressive pair of road wins againstSan Francisco City College, andChabot, who were Coast Confer-ence North co-champions.

The season also had some prom-ising aspects. The solid play of guardRyan Cooper was crucial in many ofthe team’s victories. Cooper aver-aged 14 points per game, playedshutdown defense, and was also theteam’s leading assist man. Solidguard play was one of the themes ofthe Renegades season. Aaron Parkerwas pivotal in creating opportunitiesfor his teammates as he excelled indriving to the basket. Chris Burnettprovided solid all-around play in thebackcourt with clutch shooting andquality defense. The sharp shootingof Jason Bull was a huge lift in manysituations, including hitting ninethree-pointers in a win at Chabot.

The team does have some of the

pieces for the puzzle of success, butnext season is likely to be one ofrebuilding. “We need to get someguys with more athleticism, that canplay the style I want to coach,” said

Peterson. With Burnett, Johnson,Aaron Parker, Jason Bull, SteveCotton, and Mezhron Evans all leav-ing, the Renegades have many voidsthat they need to fill.

By STEVEN CHAVEZSports editor

The Ohlone softball team wentinto Tuesday’s game against fellowpowerhouse College of San Mateowithout a loss, and they stayed thatway, winning this pitcher’s duel by ascore of 3-1.

The Lady Renegades got a hugelift from sophomore pitcher KristineBeristianos, who after giving up arun in the first inning, pitched ascoreless final six innings.

After Ohlone answered back witha run of their own in the bottom of thefirst, San Mateo managed to get theirfirst three batters of the second inningon to load the bases with no outs.

Beristianos managed to keep hercool and retire the next three battersin order, not allowing any of the SanMateo baserunners to cross homeplate.

“That was a definite momentumswitch,” said Head Coach DonnaRunyon. “I think if they would havescored, it probably would have put alot more pressure on us.”

That would have been a switchfor Ohlone, which has a well-earnedreputation for being both a stronghitting club, as well as very aggres-sive on the bases.

This aggressiveness was not re-ciprocated by San Mateo, whoplayed passively, waiting forOhlone to make a mistake that theycould capitalize on. Unfortunatelyfor San Mateo, that backbreakingmistake never surfaced.

In that second inning, the sec-ond out was recorded on a shallowfly ball to right-center, which rightfielder Mallory Lantz was able tocatch.

The runner on third stayed put,which seemed overly passive con-sidering it was the second inning ofa tie ball game.

When asked if she would havesent home the runner had it beenOhlone at the plate, coach Runyonsaid, “Wet ball, wet field, sloppy,I’ll do that in a minute.”

Beristianos, helping her owncause for the win, got the RBI oneach of Ohlone’s first two runs, one

in the first inning and the second inthe third inning.

Ohlone added their final insur-ance run in the bottom of the fifthinning when Lantz led off the in-ning with a single and eventuallyscored on an error.

That was all Beristianos wouldneed on this day, as pitched a com-plete game, giving up only five hits.

“Kristine wasn’t her best yester-day, but she still had five strikeouts,”said Runyon.

Beristianos was her best when itcounted though, as it did in the topof the sixth inning.

San Mateo, only down two runs,was to send up the heart of theirlineup: the third, fourth and fifthbatters.

By now, however, Beristianoswas in too much of a groove to berattled. She proceeded to shut downthe San Mateo attack without muchin the way of drama.

Ohlone pushed their record to 7-0-1 overall, while remaining unde-feated in league play, with winsover De Anza, Chabot and now

For any team a season is like aroller coaster; it goes up as often

as it goes down. For the LadyRenegades, this basketball sea-son was not any different.

The Lady Renegades posted a6-4 record in conference play, while

holding a 15-12 record in overallplay under Head Coach ElizabethStanley. “We suffered a lot of inju-ries this season,” said coachStanley.

Stanley, in her fourth year asthe head coach of the Ohlonewomen’s basketball team, is al-ways looking on the positive sideof the spectrum, even the losses.“Most coaches are fixated on theoutcome of the game, instead ofthe process,” said Stanley. “I tryto remind myself that I’m pro-cess-oriented.”

Stanley is not your averagecoach. How many other coachesout there can say that they wereallowed to coach when they werein high school? Not very many atall. In short, Stanley has beencoaching since 1984.

When asked what she likesmost about her job, Stanley re-plied, “watching the players grow

and develop. It’s exciting. Justlike teaching, with coaching weget to teach and show.”

Stanley earned her teaching cre-dential at Cal State Hayward.

Any coach knows that to ex-ecute, great players are a ne-cessity. Coach Stanley and theLady Renegades are no excep-tion. “I think we have some ofthe best players in the state;we’re very quick and intelli-gent,” said Stanley.

Among those were first-yearplayers, Erika Scoles and AnnikaBaird playing the guard positions,with Missy Cross at forward, andLaura Elliot at center.

Scoles, early on, seemed slowbut later was dubbed by Stanleyto be the “6th man” on the floor.However, she suffered an ACLinjury at the beginning of theseason that would take her outof action for the rest of the year.

Freshman guard Baird provedto be clutch when needed, hit-ting those much-needed outsideshots.

Being pushed by coach Stanleyto improve her skills, Crossstepped up. Cross excelled thisseason, starting in most of theteam’s games. Helping with thesuccess in the post was LauraElliot. Although Elliot appearedfrustrated at the beginning of theseason, coach Stanley believesthat she will continue to havegreat success next season.

Although the team is losingstars Kaycie Zimmerman andNikki Smith, the rest of the teamwill be returning next season.That, along with Scoles’ returnfrom her knee injury, should givethe team an edge for next season.So look out for the Lady Ren-egades, as they will be on thehunt for a title next fall.
