Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season, bringing millions of families together through hearty appetites and time-honored traditions. The history of Thanksgiving traces back its origins to the early 1600s. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States as a national holiday. Canada celebrates it on the second Monday of October, which is Columbus Day, another official U.S. holiday. The early onset of winter in the Northern regions ends up marking the end of harvest season, and hence the different dates of Thanksgiving holidays in Canada and United States. The holiday is believed to have originated from a mix of European and Native American traditions. The Europeans brought their own harvest festival when they moved to the Americas and merged it with the harvest festival of the Native Americans, which happened to be celebrated around the same time. In Europe, festivals were held before and after the harvests to give thanks for a good harvest. It marked a celebration of all the hard work put in and the successful outcome. And they brought it to this country as a mark of safe travels, peace and rich harvest.

Culturally, this annual holiday marks families getting together over a traditional Thanksgiving dinner featuring the main item: a stuffed turkey. Traditional sides include cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes, corn, fall vegetables, mashed potatoes with country gravy, all complete with a pumpkin pie. People decorate their houses with cornucopias, hornshaped containers mostly made of basket reed overflowing with harvest goods, flowers and nuts, marking abundance and the Thanksgiving celebrations. Thanksgiving Eve is generally one of the busiest nights for restaurants and bars, as students and others return home to reunite with family and friends. The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is an exciting holiday for avid shoppers. Most shops have promotions and sales even before Thanksgiving. But the main excitement starts around midnight when shops open, marking the beginning of Christmas shopping. Black Friday goes as far back as the 1930s. It is an unofficial capitalistic holiday, though many enjoy it as a part of a long weekend. This day is popularly known as Black Friday, as the heavy shopping that day helps put the retailers’ books back into black.

An unidentified vehicle struck a low hanging power line at the intersection of Stelling Road and Erin Way Nov. 15 at 12:28 p.m., knocking out power to De Anza College and the surrounding Cupertino community. Resident Peter Pao said he thought a transformer in the distribution system had blown following “a big boom.” The outage affected the stoplights at Stelling Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard; backing up traffic as De Anza students left the darkened campus. The De Anza bookstore shut down during the outage, but maintained a table where Scantrons were sold to students whose tests were scheduled for that day. Students gathered in the main quad and across campus, as most classes were canceled for the duration of the outage. Some instructors resumed sessions around benches and tables. The outage caused the dining center’s cafeteria ventilation system to shut down, which filled the cafeteria’s dining area with smoke from the stoves. The cafeteria was shut down and evacuated as a result. The library was also evacuated for safety and security concerns, said Marisa Spatafore, De Anza marketing and communications director. Spatafore also said diesel generators in “strategic areas across the campus” turned on to provide low-level lighting and critical services. An unidentified woman was trapped in the Flint Center parking garage elevator during the outage. Foothill-De Anza District police said the woman was freed at 1:20 p.m. While power was returned to the college at 1:37 p.m., and classes resumed, PG&E workers remained on the scene repairing the damaged lines until the early hours the following morning.
De Anza director of athletics headed to hall of fame RYAN BLAIR STAFF WRITER
Kulwant Singh, director of Athletics at De Anza College, will be inducted into the California Soccer Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame on Dec. 1. Born in India, Singh’s history with soccer began in England, where he played as a child. “In our family, my dad often talked about his father, my grandfather. He was a champion wrestler,” Singh said. “Although soccer and wrestling are very different, we still had a link. I think I used that as inspiration and
sometimes motivation to be involved in sports and try to excel.” Singh’s father was also involved in track and field, for which he received strong family support. “My family was very supportive. I’m not sure all families with Indian heritage are [supportive] of their sons and daughters, as far as sports go, because it’s very much [about] academics.” Singh explained how such an upbringing can be stereotypical, “but that’s what it is.” But things were different for Singh. “In my family I actually got a

lot of support to try and excel in both academics and sports, which was maybe a little bit rare at that time.” After moving to the U.S., he continued with soccer throughout high school, clubs, community college and finally at the university level at Cal State East Bay. At CSU East Bay, Singh met coach Colin Lindores, who is currently the head coach of men’s soccer at De Anza. “He was my mentor,” Singh said. “He helped me get a start in coaching.” With his assistant coaching position at Hayward, Singh lead the

women’s team to win the NCAA national championship in 1994. The same year, he served as the assistant competition manager and site director for the 1994 FIFA World Cup San Francisco venue and Stanford sites. Twice named the Community College National Coach of the Year, Singh has been at De Anza since 1990. After 17 years of men’s soccer and seven of women’s, Singh lead the men’s team to 11 Coast Conference championships, and the women’s team to four.

La Voz wins excellence award SUPRIYA VERMA STAFF WRITER
La Voz Weekly and the De Anza College students who comprise the paper’s staff brought home several awards from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges Northern California conference Nov. 12. Five students and adviser Cecilia Deck attended the conference in Sacramento along with 220 students from 20 colleges across Northern California.
Michael Mannina, 27, communications major and the managing editor of La Voz, won second place in the copy-editing competition and first place for front page layout for the 20102011 academic year along with Israel Gutierrez. “I was really happy with that award,” said Mannina. Mannina said the JACC is a great platform to network and meet other counterparts from different colleges, a sentiment echoed by Victor Arredondo,
25, sociology major and the features editor at La Voz. “It’s a great place for people who are starting up in journalism or for people who feel that they may have a career in journalism and a great learning experience for those who are new to it,” said Arredondo. The third place award for news story writing went to Bryce Druzin, 26, a La Voz reporter. The contest was about writing a news story in one hour on a speech given by Jon Ortiz, a jour-

The De Anza Associated Student Body Senate approved a $8,000 budget for the program Higher Education for AB 540 Students on Nov. 9, following two hours of non-stop debate. Shaila Ramos, 20, DASB executive vice president and one of HEFAS’ administrators, said the program is designed to help undocumented students come forward and seek help and is not to be compared to the Integral Movement for AB 540 Student Success, which is a support club. !"#$%&$'$(&)*$+(%$&,$+)%#-#.%/$0'1&.$ was prevented from voting on the program’s budget.

CSUs now to accommodate religious days during exams CHRISTINA SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
California State University students will no longer have to chose between education and faith as a result of a new law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on Oct. 8. AB 668 states that examinations may be approved for resched">+)7$+,$%2#$%#.%+)7$6'%#$(&)*$+(%.$@+%2$ the religious beliefs of the student. Current law requires CSUs, when scheduling an examination, to provide an alternate testing time for the student whose exam date violates his or her religious beliefs, although the permission to reschedule an exam will not always be granted. According to the bill, if rescheduling the test will cause an “undue hardship” to the CSU which it cannot reasonably avoid, then the requirement to provide an alternative examination time will not apply.
The bill says that if the reasoning of a CSU not to reschedule a student’s test goes to court, “the burden of proof rests upon the institution,” and the school must provide evidence for the denial of the student’s rescheduling. If the California community colleges start to offer exam rescheduling, De Anza student and hospitality major Andrew Song, 20, said, “Now, [with this law] I still wouldn’t miss an exam because, what’s the difference? I have to take it sooner or later.” San Nguyen, 18, a physical therapy major, who has also skipped classes before to attend church feels differently. “I would miss an important test for church if it’s going to be excused.” The bill does not describe which religions are accepted to be excused.

Marty Block and Equality California hope the Equality and Equal Access in Higher Education bill formally known as AB 620, will end bullying and harassment against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and staff at the university and college level across the state. The bill, passed by the assembly on Sept. 6, and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown Oct. 8, includes provisions for the student code of conduct to include a policy on harassment and funds for special staff to address to the needs of the LGBT students and staff. “With more and more legislation being passed to protect the LGBT community, the idea of ‘equality for all’ doesn’t seem so farfetched anymore,” said Tyler Daniel Gillett, 19, vice president of De Anza College’s Gay-Straight Alliance. “Bills such as

How and when the bill will be implemented at the De Anza campus is uncertain. “I greatly, greatly hope that this bill will do all that it plans to,” said Gillett. “It has the potential to protect countless students from harassment and hopefully spread knowledge and awareness to communities all around the state.” Gillett said he wishes for the students at De Anza College to not be afraid to get involved. “Your involvement and '(%+=+.1$+)$')9$3$#>6$(&">6$1'?#$'$7-#'%$ impact to someone’s life,” he said.

Traveling wall makes way to Memorial Park
BRYCE DRUZIN STAFF WRITER
“As you move across the names, you realize that all of a sudden you come across that one you know,” said Richard Paulsen, who served in Vietnam in 1968. The Traveling Vietnam Wall lists the names of 58,253 American servicemen and women who died between 1956 and 1975 was the centerpiece of a Veterans Day commemoration at Cupertion’s Memorial Park Nov. 11. “Fortunately I only know one. The year I was in Vietnam our unit was blessed in that we did not lose anyone. Unfortunately my best friend was killed the year before.” Paulsen paused briefly. “It’s a very moving day.” The traveling wall, a portable replica of the permanent exhibit in Washington D.C., was brought to Memorial Park and put on display from Nov. 9 to 13. The park is also home to The Guardians monument, a statue of Cupertino native and Navy Sonar Technician
Second Class SEAL Matthew Axelson and Petty Officer Second Class James Suh, both killed in Afghanistan in 2005. Wet weather threatened to cancel the event, but rain halted minutes before the 11 a.m. start time. Members of the Suh and Axelson families placed flowers at the statue and Axelson’s parents unveiled a boulder to honor Vietnam veterans. City officials and retired military personnel gave speeches to the audience. Retired Capt. Stephen Gilmore, U.S. Navy, got to know Axelson and Suh while serving at the Navy special warfare command headquarters. “We in Naval special warfare consider this park to be sacred ground,” he said during an address to a crowd of hundreds. Col. William Peacock, a Vietnam veteran, followed Capt. Gilmore with a simple speech. He broke the names on the Vietnam wall into smaller groups, such as the 31 sets of brothers killed, or the 1,448 soldiers who died on their last scheduled day of deployment.
“We touch those names. We don’t see their names; we see their faces. We remember their wives and mothers and fathers, and we feel their pain that they suffered, that these numbers created,” he said. Peacock concluded his speech by telling the audience, “There are no noble wars, only noble warriors.” This year’s Veterans Day ceremonies gave special attention to Vietnam veterans. Sandra James, former mayor and current president of the Cupertino Veterans Memorial, said she felt this group of veterans had been unfairly treated in the past. “When I put my arms around them and say ‘thank you and welcome home,’ they all just start crying because they never got that. They were treated like criminals, and they’ve never been able to be proud of their military service because of that,” she said. While most of the day’s events focused on remembering the suffering and loss experienced by veterans and their families, two
speakers addressed the contested legacy of the Vietnam War, a conflict in which over 58,000 Americans and at least hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese died. Peacock and David Knapp, Cupertino city manager and a retired Capt. of the U.S. Air Force, both said that American involvement in Vietnam contributed to the eventual collapse of communism worldwide. Active duty soldiers also came to pay their respects. Iraq veteran Sgt. First Class Hector Villalpondos said that being stationed on the west coast meant he had never had the opportunity to see the Vietnam Wall in Washington. He brought his son Thomas along. “I decided to bring him out today and show ‘look, these people have died for serving what they thought was the right thing to do.’ Maybe it’s not for him, but being raised in a military family, my dad served in Vietnam, I just wanted to come out and see this with my own eyes.” Contact BRYCE DRUZIN at lavoz@fhda.edu

Defensive miscues lead Dons to 21 loss against Cabrillo BRYCE DRUZIN STAFF WRITER
A combination of individual skill and indecisive defending each side of the halftime sank the De Anza Dons women’s soccer team in a 21 loss to the visiting Cabrillo Seahawks. De Anza (6112) came into the Nov. 8 match facing an eighth ranked Cabrillo team (1530) that had won 14 of its last 15 and was undefeated on the road. But the Dons had reasons to be opti mistic, having played the Seahawks close in a 21 loss in October, and recently earning a 11 draw against nineth ranked Evergreen Valley. !"#$ %&'($ )*$ +,-.(#'$ '/0$ 12("$ (#/+'$ '(&.334#$ to string together passes as both teams’ defenses played an uptempo game.

FAME:
From page 1
With more than 100 of his student athletes receiving scholarships, Singh said he “[feels] pretty proud of my coaching tenure.” Since moving from coaching to administration, Singh has continued to win with student athletes both on and off the field. “Academically, according to institutional research, the student athletes have an average GPA of 3.04,” he said. De Anza has also won the Coast Conference All-Sports Championship for the last four years. “Most importantly, we want our student athletes to move on to the university,” he said, “which is the goal of the vast majority of them.” Earlier in his career, Singh said he was “maybe one of the only soccer coaches of Indian ancestry in the country. Sometimes I didn’t quite fit in to different groups of coaches.” But Singh didn’t let this fact
derail him from his goals. “You just kind of stay positive and plug on,” Singh said about overcoming his obstacle. “I just kept going.” Singh’s positive outlook became a large part of his coaching and administrative philosophy, which includes, “definitely work[ing] hard, but I think it goes a long way when you enjoy what you’re doing. Try and have a positive spin on things.” Singh also had high praises for De Anza, explaining that “De Anza has a lot to do with my outlook. De Anza is an amazing place.” With all of the students Singh has helped shape over the years, he cites De Anza as helping to shape him. “I think being here at De Anza has a lot to do with how I’ve been shaped over the years.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR : A response to Palestine/Israel opinion of 10/31 Dear Editors, There were incorrect statements in an article re cently published by La Voz regarding the release of Gilad Shalit. In response to the accusations, the Jews, Israelis and Friends club in De Anza has composed an informational response, in defense of the exchange of Gilad Shalit. On Oct. 18, Gilad Shalit was returned to his home land of Israel. The Israeli soldier was on Israel’s ter ritory where Hamas militants kidnapped him after an attack on his tank that was on patrol in June 2006. Gilad was then taken to the Gaza Strip where he was !"#$%&'$"(%!)(*!%)'$%+(&"#%,-.(,*/'-"'0%1/(%/2"(%32"% years. The young soldier who was kidnapped when he was only 20, was given no human rights and was not even allowed day light or communication with his family. Also, according to a CNN article, “Red Cross wants proof that abducted Israeli soldier is alive.” Hamas did not let the Red Cross even check up on him; no one even knew if he was alive. The facts of the exchange prove Israel to be a coun try that strives for the security and peace of its citizens. Israel was able to negotiate an exchange through the aid of the Egyptians. After long negotiations, Israel has agreed to release over 1,000 prisoners that have committed crimes on the country and its citizens in
order to return Shalit to his family in Israel. Many of the prisoners were serving life sentences due to ter ror attacks and murders of Israeli citizens. There were even such prisoners that have multiple life sentences. According to a report stated by YNet news, “Terrorist involved in attack on 405 bus to be released,” states that Abd alHadi Rafa Ghanim, who was given 16 life sentences for hijacking a bus full of Israelis along with two Canadians and one American, leading the bus off a steep precipice, killing 16 civilians along with wounding 27 more, will be released. According to a BBC news article, “Man jailed over Ramallah lynching,” another terrorist Israel has agreed to re lease among the many was Aziz Salha, who lynched two IDF soldiers to their death with his bare hands because they accidentally made a wrong turn into Ra mallah. Israel has agreed to return its citizen, Gilad, for prisoners that not only committed crimes against the country but also those who are serving life sen tences for the murder of Israelis. Unlike the harsh and cruel imprisonment of Shalit, where Hamas acted against international laws, Israel allows all of its prisoners all of the humanitarian rights along with even more resources. Many of the Hamas militants that were serving time in Israeli prisons took advantage of rights, such as attaining an education all up to a degree, and every prisoner was allowed
communication with the outside. Gilad was hidden in the dark, starved and was treated with no morals. According to an article published by Yahoo News, ”Israeli military: Shalit suffering malnutrition,” when 4,#)$%3')##5%6)*%7)+8%,'%9*()"#%!,*%.!5*,:&"%*&11"("$% from malnutrition and weakness. He also had a lack of vitamin D, which was due to not being able to see the daylight. All of the prisoners who were exchanged out of Israel back to Hamas’ side were evaluated by Red Cross, where they determined that they were all in good health. This exchange illustrated Israel as a country that does not leave its own people behind, a country that endures much security threats and yet is willing to ne gotiate such terms. Israel took a leap toward peace; however, it is sad to say that it can not be said for Hamas as well. Where they have resumed their mis sile launches on Israel only a couple of days after the exchange, already leading to injuries and deaths among the citizens of Israel.
