With summer just around the corner the increase of weather is starting to built up more and with these last week’s temperature in the Bay Area raising in the upper 80’s, we all know that one of the best things to do when weather is hot is going to the beach or our local swimming pool.  The South Gate Swim Club of Hayward Calif. is trying to meet their deadline of reconstruction of the pool just in time for the summer. The South Gate Swim Club is in a must need for repair for it has been in Hayward for the past 48 years.

South Gate Swim Club closed their doors to their club members due to fact that the pool was leaking from the bottom which the pool would leak. This is one of the main reasons why the pool closed in the need of renovating the pool. “The construction should end by May” said Katy Dinatale, the swim coach of the South Gate Swim Club, which should be just in time for this summer which in a promise to be very hot. Dinatale also added the pool would “leak 2 feet everyday” and that they would have to “fill the pool all the time” when they would have to use it. So this renovation of the pool should help them in conservation of water.

Katy Dinatale also brought to the awareness of how the club has responded to the cost of the repairs and stated that they have raised “extra assessment fees” from club members who have been very generous to their club in helping raise thousands of dollars with having over 150 members in the club. Also due to the news coverage from CBS 5 and the Daily Review it has helped raise more with the generous donations from people. According to the swim clubs website southgateswimclub.com the fundraising goal they are trying to meet for the repairs is $80,000, which might be a tough goal for the club but they have managed to raise $11,300 off of the assessment fees and $12,560 has come from the generous donations. So as of last Saturday they have raised a total of $23,860 which is huge for cost of the pool but still want to reach that goal. If you have any questions over donating you can contact Tracy Diaz at tracy@southgateswimclub.org. And if you are interested in joining the club it is a onetime fee of $250.

The highly funny “American Pie” series is back with another greatly anticipated film, “American Reunion” which screened Thursday night in San Jose, Calif.

 

The last movie to come out in the series was “American Wedding” which came out in theatres in 2003. It has been over a decade since the last movie of the series, so the title of the movie was real fitting, due to all them finally coming back to the big screen after a big hiatus, and what a big return it was.

 

The movie returns with the entire original cast from the first movie. Jason Biggs returns and plays his unforgettable role as Jim Levinstein, in which he is now a father and is married to his high school sweetheart Michelle Flaherty, who is played by Alyson Hannigan.

 

The movie is based on the idea that their old high school is going to hold their reunion for the class of 99’. So they all come back to their hometown of East Grade Falls in the hope of gaining the nostalgic feeling of high school. As they return they soon start to realize that they are old and that they aren’t the same people they once were.

 

Steve Stiffler, played by the very funny Seann William Scott is the one out of the whole group who is still the same arrogant, immature guy. Without his arrogant character, though, this movie would have been as funny.

 

Overall the movie is hilarious, it kept the whole crowd crying with laughter with the many daring jokes especially with the unforgettable opening scene with Jim that I assure many won’t forget.

 

The high school reunion was about getting even, finally setting things straight with old friends and ending second thoughts. According to Tyler Christian, a reviewer for the website Rotten Tomatoes, stated  that the film is a “Raunch-filled romp that succeeds in bringing back the nostalgic memories mostly from the first film.”

 

It’s very long, but it’s not a bad thing since the movie keeps you entertained and all you can really think about is what is going to happen next. This movie is a high recommendation to anyone who likes raunchy comedy and of course who is a fan of the “American Pie” series.

 

This movie is only for the mature audience due to some of the jokes being a little too graphic, but it was great to see that the best piece of this series was saved till last. “American Reunion” is set to be released in theaters on April 6.
