has been especially tough on school music
programs, and we struggle to keep our
burgeoning program funded every year. We are
grateful for the encouragement and volunteer
efforts that sustain us when budgets are tight
and decisions to cut programs loom every year.
The Titan Band exemplifies the essence
of why our school music programs are
worth defending. Musical achievements and
academic benefits of band programs are widely
understood. In addition, the experience of
being involved in music, particularly in a
marching band, builds the skills that are the key
to every successful community and every great
nation- Leadership, Cooperation, Respect,
Responsibility, and Dedication.
The Marching Band is one of the few
competitive programs that accepts all students
regardless of experience or ability.
Every band member is part of our Band
Family.
Everyone belongs and everyone matters!
We believe our program has excelled so
quickly because our students recognize they
need to help each other to be better as a whole.
Not only do we want to be ambassadors
of music but also of the concept that we are
more than just the sum of our individual talents.
In working together and inspiring each other,
we are simply better and stronger than when
we work alone.
It is our mission at the National
Independence Day Parade to represent our
community with honor and good character.
Thanks to all who support our program,
our students, and our journey!
Alone we can do so little. Together we
can do so much.- Helen Keller
Please visit the Antelope Band Booster
Association website at www.antelopeband.
org to see how you can support our March to
the 2015 National Independence Day Parade!
The CHP will have two officers to check
the children’s car seats. We will have door
prizes with coffee for the adults and cookies
for everyone! We will also have our “Whale”
Tags for the cars seats, these are tags with
emergency contact information on them in
case of an accident and the driver is unable to
talk. Everything is free of charge. The Antelope
Women’s Club is a part of the California
Federation of Women’s Clubs which is a
non-profit organization that works to make
communities everywhere better places for us
to live in. This project is one of many that our
club does; some of our projects reach around
the world.
We are currently helping one of our
soldiers who we adopted when he was in Iraq
and who is now stationed in Korea with a small
orphanage near the base he is stationed at.
We can only help in small ways but we always
remember the saying “you never know when
you touch someone’s heart.” We send school
supplies, treats, & clothes for the 7 children
there, 3 girls and 4 boys. We send items every
3 months and we may also help children here
in our local area. We support children at our
Citrus Heights Domestic Violence Shelter,
Harmony House.
Would you like to be a part of this special
group of women? This month we are not having
a club meeting, instead we are having the child’s
safety seat check so stop by even if your children
are grown and say hello. We would love to have
a chance to talk with you about what we do.

Metro Fire’s CERT Program
Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the
number and scope of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services. Metro Fire’s
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an all-risk, all-hazard training. This
valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your
neighborhood in an emergency situation.
This class includes:
• What your local risks are and what you need to do to prepare;
• How to manage utilities, hazardous materials, and put out small fires using the appropriate Fire Extinguisher;
• How to use “START Triage” and how to treat the “Three Medical Killers” by: opening airways,
controlling bleeding, and treating for shock;
• How to provide basic medical aid;
• How to effectively search for and rescue victims safely;
• How to organize yourself and spontaneous volunteers to be effective as a team and collect disaster
intelligence to support first responder efforts;
• Disaster Psychology;
• About Terrorism.
This training is held on a combination of (2) weekday evenings and (2) Saturday classes and
is free to citizens who work or live in Sacramento County. Teenagers (13-17) are welcome with
an adult or guardian. The next class begins Thursday, October 9, 2014. For more information
or to register for an upcoming training, call the CERT messaging system at 916-859-3776 or
email the Metro Fire CERT Program at [email protected]. Feel free to log on to the CERT
website for additional information and registration forms at http://www.metrofire.ca.gov (choose

The 2014-15 school year is well
underway and I am amazed by how
quickly the first six weeks have flown
by. I have been touring throughout
the district visiting classrooms,
attending athletic events, interacting
with children and staff and observing
new curriculum in action. I am proud
to be part of the many opportunities
Mr.
that abound for CJUSD students
and families.
With school in motion there are various
systems in place to keep students and families
informed. I encourage you to get a pass code
for Homelink where you can monitor your
child’s academic progress and the grades your
child is earning. Site and district websites
provide a wealth of information from contact
information to upcoming events and ongoing
programs. Additionally, we have increased
our reach through social media. I invite you
to “Like” our Center Joint Unified School
District Facebook page and follow us on Twitter
@centerusd.
Beginning in August CJUSD initiated
weekly teacher collaboration time every
Monday at our elementary sites. This time
allows teaching staff the opportunity to work
together to improve instruction and services
for all students. This has been especially
productive to support the implementation
of the new math curriculum and in making
instructional adjustments to meet the
expectations of new state standards.
Site tours have provided the opportunity
In September I attended a CHS
home football game versus the River
City Raiders. It was exciting to see
the Cougars victorious on the field
while the CHS cheerleaders and Blue
Crew did their part to cheer on the
home team. Friday Night Football
is truly a fun event for the entire
family. I invite you to experience
Loehr
all the festivities at the Homecoming
Game on Friday, October 17th. JV
kickoff is 5:15pm and Varsity is at 7pm. The
energy at the homecoming game is contagious.
CHS students are busy all week in preparation
for the big game. Students participate in
dress-up days, build floats and get ramped up
at the Homecoming rally. On game night the
Homecoming floats circle the track for the
annual float competition pitting the 2015, 2016,
2017 and 2018 classes against one another for
the coveted prize. Performances by the Cheer
Team, Dance Team and Band are sprinkled
throughout the night. Varsity halftime is
reserved for the introduction of the 2014
Homecoming Royal Court and the crowning of
the Homecoming King and Queen. All of this
awaits as well as an exciting match-up on the
field between Cougar Football and the Lincoln
Zebras. I invite the Antelope community to
come out and experience Cougar Football and
the homecoming traditions of CHS.
I wish to extend a special thank you to Al
Himenez, master craftsman and member of
the Maintenance Department, for designing

Center High’s New Display Case
for me to observe children at all grade levels
interacting with math. I am excited about
our new math curriculum and the resources
available to support children at home.
McGraw-Hill provides online support for
students through 5th grade at www.connectED.
mcgraw-hill.com. Online resources include an
ebook with vocabulary practice, tools, ehelp,
math tutor and games. Children in 6th grade
and above can get homework help, access
student resource pages and get extra practice
at www.CPM.org.
Part of the secondary educational
experience includes opportunities to compete
in athletics. Fall sports are underway at Center
High School and Wilson Riles Middle School.
CHS student athletes are competing in Cougar
Football, Girl’s Volleyball, Boy’s Soccer, Girl’s
Golf and Cross Country. Student athletes at
WCR are competing in volleyball and flag
football. Athletic schedules are posted on
school websites. I encourage you to come out
and cheer on our local athletes.
front office. The lighted glass case is quickly
filling up with pieces of CHS history donated
by staff and alumni. The collection includes
pictures, trophies, prom favors, athletic
schedules, newspapers and other memorabilia
dating back to 1982. The display provides a
nostalgia trip down memory lane for staff and
alumni who have deep roots at Center High
while providing a lesson on the rich history
and tradition of CHS for those who are new
to the school site.
I’d like to welcome back three board
incumbents returning to the CJUSD Board of
Trustees; Jeremy Hunt, Kelly Kelly and Donald
Wilson. I look forward to working with these
trustees and the rest of the board to continue
moving our district forward to meet the needs
of the students of Antelope.
Cheers to the fall season and all that
awaits. I look forward to seeing the children,
families and Antelope community members
at our district and school events.

Arts Presents: Soda Shop
Angel Written by CHS Vice
Principal, Shirley McNichols
Judy Harding’s life as a 16-year old isn’t
too sweet right now. Her dad can’t find the
money to fix up the family’s soda shop; her older
jock brother, Jimmy, is flunking out of school;
and her younger brother, Tommy, has retreated
into a fantasy world of comic book superheroes
since their mom died. To add to the dilemma,
Judy has a major crush on Ricky, a new guy in
town who’s a mysterious loner. Enter Angela,
a bumbling angel-in-training who must earn
her halo by helping the Hardings. But when
the shop is hit first by a fire and then a flood,
is it divine providence or disaster? Salvation
or catastrophe? A quiz show and hula hooping
are all part of the miracle that help save Judy
and her family.
Show times are November 14th & 15th
and November 21st & 22nd.
Friday evening shows at 7:00 PM, Saturday
shows at 2:00PM and 7:00 PM.
General admission is $5 at the door.
Students with an ASB Sticker, patrons 65 years

Center ’s R eturning
Coaches
(cont’ from page 7)
One such promising athlete is senior,
Destiny King, who plans to return from double
ACL injuries the last couple of years after
being an All League player her freshman year.
“I look forward to having her back on the
court,” said Wise. “Hopefully we can keep
her healthy.”
Wise is not the only coach to return after
calling it quits. Coach Sandy Tissue returned
as the girls’ golf coach after leaving behind a
winning girls’ volleyball season. Coach Sherri
Edgar also took over the girls’ JV volleyball.
Both programs were left in jeopardy after
coaches’ retirements, and the lady coaches
were not about to see that happen.
In every case, Center High is fortunate to
have coaches, new and seasoned, who sacrifice
much to give students the opportunity to grow
as athletes and experience the game. Having
such coaches is a “Wise” choice, indeed!

Steven’s parents live in
Antelope with three younger

grow up in Antelope, it is the place
where most of his family resides.
Kelly’s parents moved
to Antelope when she was a
teenager. Though she has left for
school, a mission, more school and
other opportunities, she has now
found herself settled here again,
close to family.
Steven grew up in Katy, near
Houston, Texas. He served a twoyear church mission to Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, where he taught
about Jesus Christ and found
many ways to serve the people.
Of those two years Steven says,
“Serving a mission was one of the
best decisions I ever made. I love
the people I met there and think
of their humility and goodness
often. It definitely has affected
how I have lived every day since.”
Steven earned his Bachelor’s at BYU in
Provo, Utah, where he studied accounting.
Upon graduation Steven started working for
Larson & Rosenberger CPAs in Salt Lake City.
At the same time he left to Brazil, his family
moved to Antelope. Steven later joined them
when he took a job with the federal government
in Northern California.
Kelly graduated from Sacramento State
with a degree in Child Development. She has
a lot of experience working with children and
youth through preschools, private schools and
substitute teaching. She enjoyed working in
the Bay Area before returning to school for
a graduate degree. She earned her Master’s
in Occupational Therapy at San Jose State.
Steve, Kelly, Jacob and baby Juliette Gales.
As an Occupational Therapist, Kelly chose
to work with the geriatric population at a
skilled nursing facility. She focused on helping
patients become more independent to enable
them to return home.
During a weekend visit home for
Kelly, she met Steve at church. They began
corresponding, then dating, somewhat longdistance. Kelly took a job in Sacramento at a
skilled nursing facility and Steven was able to
woo her without the two-hour drive!
After Steven and Kelly got married in
2011 they lived in Sacramento for a bit before
purchasing their first home in Antelope. They
have since welcomed a son and a daughter to
their family.
Jacob (2) is bright, friendly and full of
11
energy. “He is one of the best gifts I have ever
received! He has brought joy and life to our
home. And a lot of laughter, don’t forget the
laughter!” says Kelly. Jacob is tall for his age
(his dad is 6’6”!) but is also articulate for his
age; he loves to practice his letters and numbers
and share with others what he is learning. He
runs and jumps and plays with the amount of
energy every adult wishes they had. While
he has his typical two-year-old struggles, he
is kind, happy and good-natured. He is social
and loves to be around people. And, like many
two-year-old boys, he loves trains!
Just over a month ago they
were blessed with their daughter,
Juliette. She is young but still full
of pleasantness, looking sweetly
and serenely at all she meets. After
a particularly difficult labor and
delivery, Steven and Kelly are so
grateful that she is here and she
is theirs!
In addition to caring for their
two young children, Steven and
Kelly work with teenagers here
locally. Kelly teaches Sunday
School and supports Steven as
Scoutmaster for a local Boy
Scout troop. He works with them
during weekly meetings, monthly
campouts and other events.
Kelly was able to “retire” from
full-time work and stays home with
her children. While this can be an
exhausting role, she has taken full
advantage of this opportunity by
beautifying her home, improving
her cooking skills and sewing lots
of her home furnishings. She also
tends a beautiful garden and shares
produce with her neighbors. She
was just caught canning applesauce
last month!
The Gales share a love of
music, singing, playing the guitar and piano.
Steven especially loves the outdoors. He is
a rock-climber, runner and swimmer, and
will be happy to try any other adventurous
outdoor activity. He also currently plays on a
recreational softball league, with a handful of
brothers-in-law, of course, because the Gales
love family!
Do you know a neighbor who should be
recognized? Well, just let us know. Send
your names or suggestions to the Antelope

Off and Running: AHS Cross Country Sneak Peek
BY JAMIE TOPPER
Antelope High’s Cross Country team
is off and running for a chance to cross
the finish line and earn coveted spots in
both the Capital Valley Conference Finals
and Sac-Joaquin Section Finals.
The new alignment to the Capital
Valley League will be challenging, but
the team has set its own season goals
of individual improvement and team
bonding.
Coach Emmy Kisaka explained, “I
think it’s going to be a challenge to pull
off a league title with some of the top
programs in the state running in our
league, but I know we will see the athletes
improve throughout the season. They
are dedicated runners who enjoy a good
workout. They push themselves hard in
practice and seem to be enjoying some
improved PR’s (personal records). In XC,
we look for goals to be met, individuals
to improve as both runners and people
and for the athletes to have fun. All in
all, I think our team accomplishes all of
this and we become somewhat of a family
as the season progresses. We get to see
athletes at their worst and their best.
We get to see them overcome obstacles,
challenge each other to improve and
reap the benefits of a loving community
of individuals.”
The Titan team participated in the Nevada
Union Invitational Meet in mid September.
The meet featured hundreds of athletes in
each meet, and was a chance for the athletes
said Kisaka. “We don’t have much around
here except the streets and a track, so it’s
fun for them to see something completely
different and out of their usual routine.”
Despite the talented competition,
many Titan runners recorded impressive
times to start the season.
Lady varsity runners Ximara
Valdivia, Sierra Arnott, and Sky Fierro all
placed within the top third of their 3-mile
meets. Frosh/Soph runners Madison
Wright and Millie Macek finished in the
top half.
Sophomore Morgan Walser, who
also competes in Track long-distance
events and basketball, had the best finish
of the day. Walser placed 7th in his meet
with a time of 18:20.36, fast enough to
have competed against more seasoned
varsity athletes. Walser also placed 6th in
the 4000-meter race on Opening Night.
“To run as well as he did is quite
an accomplishment, especially for a first
year XC runner,” boasted Kisaka. “He’s
proving himself to be one of our top racers
