Football, soccer, volleyball, and golf are some of the sports that GCCC have in season. !e games are open to all students, faculty and sta"; students are able to attend any home game at no cost with their student ID, faculty and sta" can also obtain an all sporting event pass to attend the games. With these benefits one might think everyone should attend the games and supporting our team, but home games are often visited by a small crowd.

“I feel like the games are very boring and not many people come, especially to the soccer games,” Christian Garcia, Lakin, Kan., said.

He also said that the football games are fun to attend even though we lost; he also said that he feels like the fans cheer loudly.

“The spectators in the game

are just chilling and not into the game, the atmosphere is like any other game but not very exiting,” Moises Rodriguez, Garden City and yell leader, said. “I feel like I need to go up to the fans and cheer them on to support our team.”

Dawnnel Francis, ma th in s t r u c to r, said that she saw the students were sitting down and not very interested in the game. “I tried to get the students excited about the game, but they just looked at me like I was crazy,” she said.

Some students make e"orts to try to get students more involved in the athletic events.

“I think for the next game I would probably make posters and be more cheerful and get the fans excited,” Jorge Salamanca,

Holcomb, Kan., said. Lucia Villegas, Garden City,

said that she would try to make people do the wave and cheer very loud for the team, on the next game she attends.

Moi se s Mora , s tudent government association president, said that he expects to have a great outcome for homecoming. “We try to get everyone pumped for the

game the next day,” he said.!e homecoming bon #re is

going to be on Sept. 28 at 8:30pm, at the west end of the Dennis Perryman Athletic Complex parking lot.

The homecoming game will take place at the Memorial stadium on Sept. 29 and the kick o" at 7p.m.

Garden City Community College’s Board of Trustee’s met Wednesday September 12. While two members of the board, Steve Sterling and Ron Schwartz, were missing from the meeting, the show went on. !e meeting focused mainly on the agricultural department.

!e John Collins Vocational Building will also be home to some future renovations. Reconstruction of labs and classrooms in the southeast part of the building will be accommodations for the new programs being o"ered. Plans even call for a meat storage cooler being installed into what is now a lab.

!e cost of these renovations however chose to be a bit higher than the college had planned for. So Dr. Herbert J. Swender recommended that the board take the lowest bid. !e o"er came from Dick Construction out of Garden City with a bid of $808,401. While the highest bid was approximately $817,800.

Two of GCCC buses have been authorized to be replaced. !e purchase of two new buses were made from

reser ved funds ; totaling $200,000.

Day care for GCCC students i s n o w b e i n g offered through Community Day Care Center, Inc. of Garden City. The facilities will be moved from the Penka Bui lding and Practical Arts and Sciences to a Community Day care this fall. !is will allow hours to be expanded and child age ranges to be varied as well. An estimated total of $18,200 will be paid to Community Day care. Students will have to pay a $at rate of $50 per week. !e college will also contribute grounds work at the facility as well.

President Swender stated that the college has seen a 6.7% in fall semester credit hours. He also noted that new articulation agreements were put into place after

being #nalized and signed with South Dakota-based National American University as well Wichita-based Newman University. Swender was very proud to announce that GCCC was recently ranked as one of the top 24 community colleges in the U.S. for student success by CNNMoney magazine.

Seatbelts save lives; I’d heard this a million times growing up, along with “click it or ticket”. I knew to always put on my seatbelt when getting into a car, but I never knew just how much they really mattered until a few days ago.

For some people, the only way to open their eyes to something is to experience it !rsthand. People learn from their mistakes, just don’t make a mistake that could cost you your life. Such as, neglecting to wear a seatbelt.

While driving home one night, I made the horri!c mistake of over-correcting on a dirt road. "is caused the car I was driving to swerve and unfortunately I rolled into a nearby !eld before coming to a complete stop. "e damage; all windows shattered, glass scattered on the seats, top crumpled like aluminum foil, and a driver’s side so smashed in it nearly collapsed on my head. Needless to say, my car was totaled.

However, even though the car was destroyed,

I walked out of the accident with only a few cuts and bruises, all of which have either disappeared or are almost gone. How? "e seatbelt I had been wearing saved my life. I am still standing, because I chose to wear a seatbelt

"e reason I chose to share my story with you, is because I hope to help you realize everything that could happen in a split second. I thank my lucky stars every single day, and every time I get inside a car, that I was wearing

a seatbelt that night, because it may very well had been the reason I get to share my story with you today.

Don’t just wear your seatbelt because it’s the law; wear it to save not only your life, but also those around you. Wear a seatbelt, save a life, think about it.

Apple introduced the iPhone 5 to the public in the Yerba Buena Center in San Fransico on Sept. 12."eir was very few surprises to anyone who was following the Apple rumor mill over the past few months. Apple unveiled the iPhone 5, along side with new iPods, which was a surprise, because they usually have a separate event for the music players.

According to Apple “iPhone 5 is the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone”. The new iPhone has a new design, bigger screen, faster processor and a new version of Apple’s IOS software to power it. Apple also included a 4G LTE antenna for faster data as well as a better camera that is capable of taking panorama photos. "ere is also room for another row of apps, the headphone jack has been moved to the bottom of the handset and the most radical change was the 8-pin dock connector.

Here are some reviews on the new iPhone.

“Bright, responsive and it just feels right’: MailOnline.com published about the iPhone 5.

“Nearly every feature has been upgraded, with a focus on what counts: screen, sound, camera, speed,” David Pogue from the New York Times

“This is without a doubt the best iPhone yet, tech blog Engadget wrote.

“"is is a hallmark of design.

This is the one you’ve been waiting for,” CNET reviewer Scott Stein said.

The smartphone market is currently dominated by Android (Google Inc.) with 68.1% of share, followed by IOS (Apple Inc.’s iPhone) with 16.9% of share, Blackberry (Research In Motion) has a 4.8% of share, and Symbian (Nokia) 4.4% of share according to the International Data Corporation. Apple hopes that the iPhone 5 changes the Apple-or-Android choice and increases their market share with their new device. "e iPhone 5 will go on sale Sept. 21, and will be available on Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. "e phone will cost 199$ for the 16GB model, 299$ for the 32GB model, and 399$ for the 64GB model, with a two year contract.

Is iPhone5 the new beast?

As a newspaper sta#, we feel that it is extremely important that people stay informed about what happens in the world.

Presidential elections are just around the corner. It is critical for people to get informed about the candidates. Most American citizens have this line of reasoning: “My votes not going to matter anyway, so why should I take the time to inform myself?”

"ere are so many people each year that don’t inform themselves about important issues. Why should they have a right to complain, if they don’t care enough to voice their opinion by voting?

A better way to get informed is to do some research instead of acquiring information from mainstream media, which is often biased. Each presidential candidate has their own website with !rst hand information. On the websites you will find candidates opinions about di#erent issues that will help formulate an educated decision. Check out each candidate’s platforms; the !ndings may be more than a little surprising.

Here at the Silhouette, we the staff like to browse through local newspapers, the Huffington Post, the New York Times, as well as each candidate’s website.

It’s always nice to have an instructor whom you can relate to. Here at Garden City Community College, there are more than a few instructors that have chosen to return to help teach current students just what they’ve learned from their experience and academic triumphs. Well, now there’s yet another alumni that has chosen to come and share her wisdom.

For those students out there who don’t know a whole lot about the Ag department, or even ones that do, let me introduce you to someone new to the scene. Rosio Ibarra is now GCCC’s Technical Education Case Manager for those involved in TRAC-7.

Ibarra went through about a two month process before joining the sta! towards the end of May. She said that she knew she got the job when she received a ohone call saying she was o"cially hired.

Her job was relatively slow during the summer, as there are not a whole lot of students to help during this time, but Ibarra said she is de#nitely busier now. Although Ibarra is new

to the administrative staff, she’s actually no stranger to the college. Not only did she grow up right here in Garden City, she also graduated from GCCC in 2009 after two years of attending classes. “I advise certain students and help them #nd a career path . . . I also help them get credentials for future schooling and job opportunities.”

$ose that she helps are involved in the TRAC-7 program, which is a grant offered through the government. $ere are 7 di!erent schools that have been o!ered this grant. TRAC-7 is an acronym, which stands for Technical Retraining to Achieve Credentials.

Ibarra said that she really enjoys the job and decided to apply for the position because of her experience she had as a student. “I was always able to talk to professors, I didn’t think the class sizes were too large and the faculty was so wonderful.”

Ibarra said she “loved being a student here”, which is why she chose to come back. Adjusting well, Ibarra said “Whenever I have a question, I know who to ask,

everyone’s really friendly.” Although, she commented that the change from a big city like Wichita to a tiny town like Garden City was a bit rough. “I still know a lot of the instructors, or at least I remember them, it’s great working here.”

In her position as Education Case Manager, Ibarra helps students

with whatever they need. “I’m here to help, my door is always open . . . we’re really student support.” For example, if a TRAC-7 student needs help with homework, Ibarra can help said students #nd the tutoring center. Not only does she help with homework assignments, she also helps pupils plan for the future.

growing steadily with every year. $e program has not only students from Garden City, but from Nebraska, Colorado, California, Missouri and even a student all the way from the nation of Honduras.

Among the Ag instructors, personnel include Agriculture Instructor Cindy Venjohn, Animal Science Instructor Dr. Clint Alexander, and new to the programs are Rosio Ibarra, Technical Program Case Manager, and Austin Voyles, the new Animal Science and Food Safety Instructor. Voyles and Ibarra were brought on as part of the TRAC-7 program.

A series of new certificates are being added to the program including Agribusiness, which has options of either livestock management or agronomy to choose from for future careers. More certi#cates are also being o!ered in the new #eld of food safety and food inspection.

$e program has also been working very closely with Ag teachers from Southwest Kansas High School. $e students do a multitude of di!erent things, including getting involved in 4H and helping to recruit future FFA members.

D e n n i s P. H a r p w a s introduced on the morning of Sept. 10, during a press conference in the Hall of Fame room as the new director of athletics for Garden City Community College.

“It’s a special day for me. I feel right at home, I have been familiar with Garden City Community College for numerous years. I know you [GCCC] have a wonderful tradition,” he told a room full of supporters, employees, and area media who gathered to mark the occasion.

Harp has served the past two years as athletic development director for the University of Texas at Arlington. At GCCC, he will lead the athletic-related fund raising endeavors, as well as direct all men’s and women’s athletic programs and oversee the coaching sta!.

“I think that the main thing is to know the coaches, I have met a lot of them and they are absolutely wonderful,” Harp said.

He also said that is very important to graduate our athletes, making sure they attend classes and are good citizens.

“When I was a basketball coach for 22 years, we had 96 percent of our players graduate and I always keep a list of the things that they were doing, I was really proud of the fact that they turned out to be real productive citizens,” Harp said. “What I know of our coaches is that they are placing an emphasis on that.”

Before joining UT Arlington, Harp served from 2001 to 2011 as director of corporate relations for Hardin Simmons, where he was closely involved in a major capital campaign that raised $48 million.

Harp moved up to the corporate relations position at HSU after serving there from 1988 to 2001 as head coach for men’s basketball. In addition to compiling a 190-142 win-loss record, he led his teams to three 20-win seasons. He became one of the youngest coaches in the National Collegiate Athletic Association when he took the job at the age of 31.

As assistant coach at HSU from 1985 to 1988, he served as recruiting coordinator, scouted and evaluated opponents and developed a recruitment philosophy.

Harp worked as assistant men’s basketball coach and academic counselor at South Plains in Levelland from 1980 to 1985, where he handled "oor-coaching responsibilities, coordinated recrui tment, counseled student athletes and assisted graduating players with career placement.

“Dr. Swender’s enthusiasm and vision for the college are some of the main things that attracted me,” Harp said, “Along

#e Lady Busters went (4-1) at the Air-Force prep tournament, their season record is now (11-11). Not perfect, but a very dominating play from the lady busters, while their team was $ghting o! injures and fatigue. With $ve matches to play this weekend coach Rob Lutz was worried about the teams health.

McCook Community College was the $rst opponent of the lady busters and the Indians came out swinging, winning the $rst two sets, 26-24, 25-18. Down, but not out, the Lady Busters win the next three sets 25-20, 25-15 and 15-13 to comeback and win the match.

Tyreek Hill #24, running a kick return for a touchdown which was 101 yards.

MICHAEL JONES | SILHOUETTE

The little engine that could, that’s Tyreek Hill, # 24, in a nutshell. “Dangerous” is a word coaches used when asked about Tyreek. It has been taken noticed that most teams kick the ball short, instead of letting Tyreek have a chance to return it for a touchdown, which he did against the Blue Dragons two weeks ago. “He is fast, but his quickness makes him faster”, Drew Jordan said.

Tyreek Hill was Named NJCAA Special Teams Player of the Week on September 13, 2012 because his performance against Hutchison, where he tallied a total of 131 special team yards. After two returns Hutchinson decides to kick short for the rest of the night. “Do not let his size fool you, he will run over you, he’s tough”, Alex Mason stated.

Tyreek hill simply makes plays; rather it’s a kick return, a run, or a reception down !eld. When asked, “what do you think about when the balls in your hands” he responded simply “ I don’t think, I just do”, which can explain his moves when avoiding tackles. He is a de!nite player to keep an eye on every week.
