sTudenT feaTure: James duke Freshman James Duke has certainly proven to the Loma Linda Academy community that he can run with the best of them and work to the best of his abilities. Duke, Loma Linda Academy

student association (SA)

second semester treasurer, is a special

kid. Not only is he a freshman

holding a SA position, he also has a

interesting life outside of the campus.

At the beginning of the 2013-2014

second semester, Duke ran for SA

Treasurer. Not even knowing what

SA was at the time, he took the

opportunity to show the school what

he can do. The odds were against him

being an under classman running

against other upperclassmen.

“I wanted to do something

radical that has never been done

before so I decided to give SA a shot,

even though I was a Freshman; I

did not let it stop me,” Duke said.

Duke later went on to win the

election, coining the phrase, “To

the best of my abilities,” as his own.

Duke’s rise to fame at LLA ensued.

A semester has passed, and Duke

has acclimated well to his position. “It

was at first a bit intimidating, because

of the upperclassmen in SA, but then

we became acquainted with each

other [...] and we became friends.”

Not only does he stay involved

in school leadership activities, Duke

holds many other leadership positions

in the community. These include:

doing media activities at Loma

Linda University Church, pathfinder

drill instructor at Waterman SDA

Church in San Bernardino, and

JV volleyball, to name a few.

Duke is also aspiring to join the

U.S. Navy to specifically become

an FA 18 Super Hornet pilot on

an aircraft carrier. He is already

training to become a pilot. The

picture in this article is an aerial

view of Loma Linda Academy

Duke took as he was flying over.

Duke is a fearless character and

encourages others to accomplish their

goals. “If you want to do things that

are impossible or that you are scared

to do, do it. Who cares what people

think about you; just do it. Do what

you have do to achieve it,” Duke said.

In light of the recent earthquakes that have struck Southern California, as well as other places around the

world, it is important to be prepared for any earthquakes to come. We should not take this fact lightly, you never know when the next big one may hit. Here are some things you can do to prepare; before, during, and after a quake.

Before: • Store breakable items such as bottled foods, glass,

and china in low, closed cabinets with latches.

• Fasten heavy items such as pictures and

mirrors securely to walls and away from beds,

couches or anywhere people may sit.

• Brace overhead light fixtures and top-heavy objects.

• Locate safe spots in each room under a

sturdy table or against an inside wall.

During: • DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under

a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and HOLD

ON until the shaking stops. If there is not a table or

desk near you, cover your face and head with your

arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.

• Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and

anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.

• Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake

strikes. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow,

unless you are under a heavy light fixture that could

fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.

• Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go

outside. Do not exit a building during the shaking.

After:• When the shaking stops, look around to make sure it is safe to move. Then exit the building.

• Expect aftershocks. These secondary shockwaves are usually less violent than the main

quake but can be strong enough to do additional damage to weakened structures

and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.

• Help injured or trapped persons. Remember to help your neighbors who may require

special assistance such as infants, the elderly and people with access and functional needs

• Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for the latest emergency information.

• Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

• Go to a designated public shelter if your home had been damaged and

is no longer safe. Text SHELTER + your ZIP code to 43362 (4FEMA)

to find the nearest shelter in your area (example: shelter 12345).

• Be careful when driving after an earthquake and anticipate traffic light outages.

• Put on long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes and work

gloves to protect against injury from broken objects.

Who would want to be

at school at 3:00 in the

morning? No one. Except for the

Wind Symphony band members.

None of the students really

complained about being at school

so early the morning of April 16,

2014. Because they knew they

would be on their way to band tour.

Destination: Washington D.C.

When Gio Santos, the Wind

Symphony director, began to plan

this tour, he considered places the

students would like to visit. He gave

them several options and once the

place was voted on, Santos went

on to start “looking into prices,

geographic information, safety,

and a million other things.”

One of the many things to worry

about when planning a tour is the

cost. Santos and his band students

did a few fundraisers to cover the

general costs such as instrument

transportation and check in fees.

These fundraisers included a See’s

Candy sale and a cookie dough

sale as well. Usually, the students

themselves cover the near $1,000

cost for a national tour such as this

year’s tour to Washington D.C.

The tour started with two flights

to Washington D.C. The first group

left the school at 4:05 A.M. and

the second group left at 6:45 A.M.

Wednesday morning. After both

groups had arrived and settled in to

their rooms at the Spring Hill Suites,

it was lights out at 12:15 A.M.

Things would become very

busy as soon as the next day started.

Breakfast was at 8:30 the next

morning, and the band had to

be ready to perform a concert at

the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA)

headquarters in Silver Spring,

M.D. soon afterwards. After that

performance, the band traveled to

Fort Myer, V.A. to attend “Pershing’s

Own” US Army Band Clinic.

The last event for that Thursday

was to enjoy the “President’s

Own” Marine Band in concert.

At 10:20 A.M. the following

Friday, the band members arrived

back at the “President’s Own” US

Marine Band practice facility for a

tour. This day consisted of almost

three and a half hours of free time for

the students, starting from lunch at

the Reagan Building and also at the

National Mall. Wind Symphony’s

only performance for that day was

at the Sligo SDA Church, where

they provided the music for the

church’s Easter vespers service.

The sound of lla aT d.C.


Sabbath morning included a

performance at the South Asian SDA

Church of Silver Springs, MD. It

was an easy going Sabbath afternoon

complete with a provided potluck and

a Sabbath walk. In the late afternoon,

the band was able to take a tour of

the D.C. monuments and memorials.

Sunday was a special day for

the band members as it was Easter

Sunday. They attended the Easter

Service at the Washington National

Cathedral, a prestigious and ticketed

event. Afterwards, Wind Symphony

departed for a performance at the

Navy Memorial. Dinner that night

was a special treat as the whole

band ate at the Hard Rock Cafe,

where Annie Golay (11) recalls

that, “We had a choice of pasta or

caesar salad and then for dessert

they gave each table this huge plate

of cookies. It was very exciting.

I ate about half of that plate.”

After the feasting at Hard Rock

Cafe was finished, the students went

back to their hotel rooms for the

last time to pack up and be ready

to fly home the next morning. But

not before one last fun event, which

was a tour at the Arlington National

Cemetery. There the band was

directed by Colonel Shelbourne, who

formerly commanded the US Army

Band. “It was a really cool experience

to have and to be able to say we had

been conducted by Col. Shelbourne.”

said Thomas Rauser (12).

On the flight home there were

feelings of sadness and happiness

evident in the students faces.

Happy to have been there, sad to

leave, happy to return home, sad

to once again face schoolwork.

With such a tour as this, many

memories come home with the

students. One memory would be

Santo’s tradition of taking pictures

with sleeping students on the bus.

For many students thinking

about joining Wind Symphony

just for the tours such as these,

Rauser advises otherwise, “Don’t

sign up for band for the tour. Sign

up because you love music.” That

love for music is evident in each

band member, especially as they

shared their music on the other side

of the U.S. in Washington, D.C.

As Pro Musica stepped off the plane into the cold New York air, they knew this was going to be an event to remember.

In the early morning of April 16,

2014, members of Pro Musica, the

elite high school choir at Loma Linda

Academy (LLA), packed their bags.

All of them were overflowing with

excitement for the upcoming tour.

Their destination was the bustling

metropolis of New York, New York.

After the five-and-a-half hour flight,

Pro Musica landed in Newark Liberty

International Airport in Newark,

New Jersey. The choir actually stayed

in Newark, which is about 10 miles

away from Manhattan. This was

the first time Pro Musica has set

foot in New York. When asked why

he chose the destination Jeremy

Morada, director, said, “I wanted

to go somewhere both domestic

and exciting, so I chose New York.

There’s so much to do there that

it seemed like a no-brainer.”

Pro Musica had many activities to

do, so there was barely any breathing

time. Much of the time there was

spent performing and practicing. On

Wednesday, they went to Brooklyn

and sang for the local Brooklyn

Youth Choir. On Saturday, they

sang at the City Tabernacle Church

in Manhattan. They performed

during the church service and also

had a concert in the afternoon.

Pro Musica also spent a good

amount of time sight seeing. Pro

Musica visited many landmarks

like the Statue of Liberty, Times

Square, Radio City Music Hall, and

the Empire State Building. They

also went to the 9/11 Memorial.

While much of the time in

New York was spent marveling at

the glamorous landmarks and awe

inspiring skyline, there were still

performances, albeit unscheduled

ones. In Times Square, Pro Musica

sang their “Acapella Fest medley”,

a mixture of popular songs. At

the 9/11 Memorial, they sang a

rendition of “The Star Spangled

Banner.” They also sang it at the

Immigration building in Ellis Island.

On Saturday night, Pro Musica

was treated to a special treat in the

form of the Broadway musical,

Cinderella. The musical was a

playful and refreshing retelling of

the heartwarming fairy tale. Many

of the choir members enjoyed the

play and gave good reviews about it.

Since this was Morada’s Last tour

at LLA before he goes to ____, it was

met with a bittersweet feeling. On the

last night of the tour the members

sat down in the lobby of their hotel.

They then proceeded to write notes

and passages to each other, sharing

their fondest memories. Everyone got

to write to Morada, expressing their

thanks and gratitude for his directing.

Morada said, “The tour definitely

brought everyone closer together.

We trust each other a lot more and

learned more about each other.”

Once the tour ended, Pro Musica

boarded a plane back home and

-many felt satisfied with what they

had just experienced. While moving

from one part of the city to the

other, the choir had bonded and had

grown close to each other. There is no

doubt that the many great memories

were made in the “Big Apple.”

California is in the middle of its biggest drought in years. It is important for us to save as much water as we can. Here are some helpful tips on how you can do that.

• Use the washing machine with full loads to save both water and energy.

• Install a water-efficient clothes washer. Saves: 16 gallons/load

• Washing dark clothes in cold water saves water and energy, and helps your clothes retain their color.

•

• Cook food with little water as possible. This also helps it retain more nutrients.

• Select the proper pan size for cooking. Large pans may require more cooking water than necessary.

• Take five minute showers instead of 10 minute showers.

• Turn water off when brushing teeth or shaving. Saves: Approximately 10 gallons/day

• Turn off the water while washing your hair and save up to 150 gallons a month.

• Plug the sink instead of running the water to rinse your razor and save up to 300 gallons a month.
