South Coast Conference
Cancels Spring Sports
The presidents of the South Coast Conference
Colleges made the decision to suspend athletic
competition for traditional spring sports for the
2021 season, it was announced February 25.
To ensure El Camino College student athletes
remain in shape and ready when competition
does return, the college is returning athletes
to campus for conditioning purposes, March
10. Conditioning will occur outside only
and the athletic department will implement
social distancing guidelines recommended by
the California Department of Public Health.
Equipment will not be shared.
“We realize that maintaining optimal athletic
stamina is critical to the future performance of
our student athletes,” said El Camino College
President Dena P. Maloney. “By implementing
stringent and proven safety measures we
flowing into waterways, and save money,”
said West Basin Board President Harold C.
Williams. “West Basin encourages residents
to save water and use local resources whenever
possible.”
West Basin’s rain barrel distribution program
is part of a larger District-wide water-efficiency
program that launched in 1990. Since its inception,
the program has helped the District
to conserve more than 7 billion gallons of
water through the distribution of more than
300,000 water-saving devices. Since 2014,
West Basin has given away more than 8,000
free rain barrels to local residents.
Registration is required. Some conditions
apply. Rain barrel deliveries will be scheduled
in groups, with lead times of up to a
few weeks between order and delivery dates.
can offer student athletes the opportunity to
strengthen their abilities and be ready when
they do compete.”
“At this time we are excited to have our
student athletes get back on campus for conditioning,”
said ECC Athletic Director Colin
Preston. “It is the first step that is needed
in the process to return to what our student
athletes love to do; practicing and competing.
We will continue to evaluate the current trends
in Los Angeles County and will be prepared
for the next steps.”
Sports returning to campus for conditioning
include badminton, baseball, women’s basketball,
football, men’s and women’s soccer,
softball, men’s and women’s swim and dive,
men’s and women’s track and field / cross
country, and men’s and women’s volleyball. •
Film Review
Jumbo: An Untraditional French Love
Story About Loving Someone (Or
Something) Despite the Status Quo
By Ryan Rojas for cinemacy.com
When we feel a desire for someone–or
something–are we brave enough to express
that love, uninhibited of others’ thoughts?
And what if that something isn’t human
at all? But rather, an inanimate object–or in
the case of Jumbo–a towering amusement
park ride?
In Jumbo, Jeanne (Noémie Merlant),
a shy theme park worker, falls in love
with a new “attraction” and explores what
Jumbo, courtesy Dark Star Pictures.
love means. What’s even more fascinating
about this concept is that Jumbo is in fact
based on a true story. And while it may
sound like a silly premise for a film, Jumbo
(the pet-name that Jeanne gives to “The
Move It” theme park ride) is actually–somewhat
surprisingly–heartfelt, sincere, and
emotionally felt.
Zoé Wittock directs the film with such
compassion (and sensuality) that you really
could substitute “Jumbo” with anything at
all and the film would still hold strong as an
involving, stimulating movie about forbidden
love. But the fact that Jumbo is specifically
about this sort of tilt-a-whirl attraction is
what gives the film its visual identity, which
Wittock uses to highlight its oscillating movement,
and kaleidoscopic light design, which
Jeanne is succumbed by.
Jumbo really only works because of the
lead performance from Noémie Merlant
(who audiences will recognize from Portrait
of a Lady on Fire). She gives an incredibly
vulnerable, yet sincere and committed
performance as Jeanne, who we may or
may not immediately recognize is suffering
from mental health issues (I felt a similarity
to Alison Brie’s character in Netflix’s
Horse Girl).
And also of note is the committed performance
of Emmanuelle Bercot as Jeanne’s
mother, who also pushes herself to understand
her daughter’s odd expression of love.
While Jumbo is certainly strange in its
conceit, it does also show bravery in what
committed, true love looks like.
Distributed by Dark Star Pictures, Jumbo
is available to steam via virtual theaters. •
