Mr. Bill Yates is retiring from the El Monte Air Re-sources Board after 56 years of service. He first began his career at the Los Angeles County Air Pollution Control District and moved to the State Health Department. Then he moved to the Air Resources Board in Down-town Los Angeles, which moved to El Monte in 1971.

Mr. Yates lives quite a busy life. He is involved with the Red Cross, volunteering and using his vacation time, helping out after many disasters, including: Whittier Nar-rows Earthquake, Hurricane Iniki, 911, and Hurricane Katrina. At one time, Mr. Yates served as the Chairman of the San Gabriel Valley Red Cross. Even today, he has promoted the Red Cross Blood Drive at the El Monte Air Resources Board.

Besides the Red Cross, Mr. Yates also volunteers his time with the El Monte Kiwanis and has held the office of President and was very active with Key Club at Arroyo and Mountain View High Schools. Actually, the membership in Key Club at

Arroyo High was 350, the largest membership for any school in California, Hawaii, and Nevada.

In addition, Mr. Yates served as Vice-President of the El Monte Chamber and was part of the “Trade Delegation,” serving as an advisor to the California

State Leadership Initiative to Eastern Europe. He repre-sented the American Red Cross, the Chamber, and the State of California.

I asked Mr. Yates how he would like to be remem-bered. He told me that children should be our first priority. Mr. Yates wants to be remembered as someone who inspired kids because they are our future. He said he was inspired by the Boy Scouts of America, and his troop #270 in Cleveland, which was the largest troop in the projects. His mom was a den mother and he attained

the rank of Eagle Scout. But he named three people that have inspired him: Carl B. Stokes, the first black mayor of a major U.S. (Cleveland) and was elected the first black Democrat to the Ohio House of Representatives in 1962; Louis Stokes, “who rose from Cleveland’s proj-

ects to become a lawyer, and was elected Ohio’s first black congressman;” and Judy Chu, U.S. Representa-tive for California’s 27th Congressional District, who “is a dynamic lady and proactive and supportive of her district.”Does Mr. Yates ever have

any free time for himself? One of his favorite things to do is attend the Kentucky Derby each year. Mr. Yates has been going to the Derby since Telly Savalas owned horses there in the 1960’s. What will Mr. Yates do after his retirement? He plans on moving back to Cleveland, Ohio to help his sister who has Alzheimer’s. Of all of his accomplishments in life, Mr. Yates is very proud to be a great-great-grandfather and I am sure he is looking for-ward to more volunteering.

Long-Time El Monte Community Volunteer Retires

On behalf of the community of

El Monte, thank you Mr. Yates for your

service and dedication.

This past week has been a very traumatic week for ev-eryone in our country. These are events in our resent his-tory, “The Boston Bombing” and the explosion in Texas. One a terrible act by persons who we cannot understand their reasoning and another seemingly a terrible accident. Both tragedies are still being investigated. Television brings not only information, but also events, both good and bad into our homes and all becomes part of our lives. Our cell phones also can be used in meanness or as an aid to help others. We keep those that have suffered from these horrible events in our thoughts and prayers and make us aware of the many blessings in our own lives that we can go about our daily routine.

Give someone a smile to-day, see you soon someplace, AROUND TOWN

My school required me to complete service hours as part of our curriculum. For my remaining hours, I gave my service to the elderly patients of Vista Cove in Ar-cadia. Though I was there for a short time, I was full of joy. I loved to visit the residents, and I immediately became attached. One resident had a wondrous smile, like that of a child; it brought upon me an unexplainable happiness.

I felt that I was finally doing something right, and found a place where I can comfort-ably serve my community.

I’ve worked with elderly patients prior to my experience at Vista Cove. However, this was the first time I felt complete joy with what I was doing. I learned even more about myself. I learned that a smile after such pain can bring me the most selfless happiness pos-

sible. I learned that I love to serve others because it brings me pure contentment and bursting love.

I think we should all find time to help the ones who need our assistance. A simple smile, laugh, or hug from a helpless stranger can do more than “make your day.” It will make your life on earth an experience worth-while.

Joy in Service

WEBB'S RULES

I'm not a doctor I'll say from the start;But I've found vinegar is good for the heart.

Everybody wants to stay young forever it seems;Well, Apple Cider Vinegar is the answer to a dream.

Some believe it's a liquid cure all that aids mankind;Living a healthy, vital life will last for a long time.

Apple Cider Vinegar is a magical tonic tried and true;It's amazing that over one thousand things it can do.

You'll be happier and healthier with a lot of faith;

When you try a daily vinegar cocktail to lose weight.Apple Cider Vinegar is a golden liquid that is a must;

And something that you'll always be able to trust.

Some things need a small mix of vinegar and honey;You'll look and feel a lot better while saving money.It will solve most troublesome of human afflictions;Vinegar can even be helpful with some addictions.

Hiccups will disappear, headaches will fade away;Prevent leg cramps by taking the mix once a day.Vinegar enthusiasts have a long list of ailments;

That are reported to help cure or prevent.

Apple Cider Vinegar can fight a whole lot of diseases;It's been able to help a lot of folks who are ill at ease.Stops arthritis, cancer, kills infection, to name a few;

Will preserve memory and keep the mind from aging too.

Apple Cider Vinegarby Eugene R. Webb

El Monte-Rosemead Adult School Los Angeles Uni-versal Preschool (LAUP) teachers use best practices, curricular strategies and instructional techniques to assist children in gaining the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.

"During “Center” time ac-tivities, the youngest students learn how to set up environ-ments, self-initiate play and select appropriate materi-als," said Assistant Principal Sara Shapiro. "Children are allowed opportunities for practicing social interaction and relationship skills by freely choosing and pursuing their interests."

Springtime brings an excellent opportunity for the

children to explore nature and growth in the garden.

"LAUP students have planted their own seeds and are now monitoring the development of their plants under the guidance of their teachers," said Shapiro. "This and other hands-on learning activities encour-ages children to use all their senses and competencies." According to Shapiro, there are still a few spaces open to children who will be four years of age by October 1, 2013.

"Ms. Vicky and her staff provide support for the social growth of their students and encourage curiosity and ini-tiative," added Shapiro.

For more information, call 626-350-6179.

The Mountain View School District Board of Education presented the Dis-trict’s Mountaineer Award to Amy Minick, a teacher at Mt. View High School for her outstanding work with

the Teacher Preparation Academy (TPA). Minick co-ordinates the TPA, a program for high school students who aspire to become teachers.

Minick and the TPA have partnered with the Mountain View School District (MVSD) for several years, providing the opportu-nity for high school students to get an inside look at the teaching profession while providing a wonderful tutor-

ing service to MVSD stu-dents. Under Minick’s lead-ership the program continues to make a positive impact in the reading skills of students at La Primaria School where twice a week TPA members

provide tutoring, individual-ized instruction in reading, comprehension, site words and phonics. A group of TPA members also provide instructional support twice a week to students at Madrid Middle School.

The TPA class is part of the high school students’ regular school day, and in ad-dition to learning the meth-odologies of teaching and strategies for interacting with

students, the aspiring teach-ers gain hands-on experience working with students at MVSD schools.

Minick was commended for her outstanding service and accomplishments made

in the area of educa-tion, and the dedi-cation and effort she has in-vested in the lives of stu-dents.

“We

truly appreciate all you do for your students at Mt. View High and for all of our students who have benefitted from your dedication and the TPA program,” said Lillian Maldonado French, MVSD Superintendent. “We are so grateful for the partnership with TPA and the positive results our collaboration has achieved. Thank you so much for your dedication and commitment.”

Mountain View School District’s Board of Education presented Amy Minick, Mt. View High School Teacher with the District’s Mountaineer Award for her distinguished leadership of the high school’s Teacher Preparation Academy (TPA).

California is moving one step closer to implement-ing the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics with the release today of the draft Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve for public comment, said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson.

“This draft Math Frame-work is an important step on California’s path toward the Common Core State Standards, which provide a practical way to prepare children for the challenges of a constantly changing world by learning step-by-step the practical skills they need for career and college,” Torlakson said. “I’m looking forward to feedback from the public as we put these standards to work remodeling our educa-

tion system.”“Frameworks” provide

guidance for implementing the new standards. “Stan-dards” define the knowledge and skills students should ac-quire at each grade level. The draft Math Framework differs from the last one approved by the State Board of Education in 2005, because it is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

The draft Math Framework shows the progress from kindergarten to higher-level math using three principles: The first principle is “focus,” an emphasis on the math concepts and content in the standards. The second prin-ciple is “coherence,” the con-nections between mathematics topics that create a progres-sion of learning from kinder-garten through high school. The third principle, “rigor,”

calls for instruction with an equal emphasis on develop-ing students’ understanding, procedural skills, and ability to apply mathematics to solve problems inside and outside the classroom

This draft Math Frame-work links to implementation tools and research; describes options for higher math even at the middle-school level, including Algebra I; provides greater support for universal access for English learners and students with disabili-ties; changes the approach to technology; and aligns with the Smarter Balanced Assess-ment Consortium’s test con-tent specifications. Smarter Balanced is the new computer adaptive student assessment system. The draft Math Frameworks also will help guide publishers in develop-ing instructional materials.

California is part of a multistate consortium that developed the Common Core State Standards for math and English. They keep the best of California’s current standards, but replace outdated ways of learning with a clear focus on the key knowledge and skills students need, and provide teachers the time to teach them well.

California Education Code Section 60207 requires the State Board of Education to adopt a revised mathemat-ics curriculum framework. The draft Math Framework is the culmination of several years of work involving edu-cators, content experts, and other education and commu-nity leaders.

The public will have until June 20, 2013, to review

the draft Math Frameworks located at the California Department of Education’s Public Review and Com-ment on the Math Framework Web page. To leave com-ments, people may use the online 2013 Mathematics Frameworks Online Survey, or visit one of the 23 Learn-ing Resource Display Centers statewide, where a hard copy of the draft will be available.

The public com-ments will then be presented to the Instructional Quality Commission this summer for review and possible inclusion into the final Math Frame-works. The State Board of Education may take action on the final Math Frameworks this fall.

With music blaring from the speakers, students and staff members covering the blacktop and enthusiasm and energy at a high rate, the Parkview School fam-ily broke into a flash mob. Students from kindergarten through sixth grade, joined by their teachers, adminis-trators, staff members and parents showed off their best moves as the entire school danced the Cupid Shuffle.

“I am so proud of all of you!” said Sylvia Rivera, Parkview’s principal. “I didn’t know we had so many talented dancers here at Parkview!”

Students spent about a week practicing their dance moves in their classrooms and were excited to do the flash mob as a group. Lead-ing the dance were teachers, Martha Segura Diaz and Ramona Chandler, as well as student council members.

“Our student council want-

ed to plan something fun for our school and we work re-ally hard to be physically ac-tive here at Parkview so we thought a flash mob dance would be a great thing,” said Angelica, Parkview’s student council president. “It was fun to see so many people dancing at the same time.”

As part of Parkview’s Physical Education Program (PEP) grant the school regu-larly implements programs that help students make prog-ress toward meeting their state standards for physical education. Students receive instruction in healthy eating habits and good nutrition through the Harvest of the Month and Tasting Trios pro-grams, as well as participate in physical activities that support a lifelong healthy lifestyle.

Chamber Ambassadors

It is the time of year that the Chamber of Commerce pres-ents its slate of candidates for the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. More importantly, it is also a time to recognize not only the Board of Directors but our entire team of individual volunteers.

While there are many forms of volunteering, a volunteer basically is a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or under-taking willingly without pay. The success of our Chamber of Commerce and its work in the community depends largely on a strong, active volunteer force.

There are many ways a person can volunteer. One of our efforts is to match your areas of interests and time

commitment to determine what would be a good fit. For example, our two largest events of the year; the Annual Golf Tournament on April 26th and our Annual Awards and Installation dinner on June 27th always need your help. In addition, our stand-ing Committees are available for you to participate. The Ambassadors’ Committee is a natural for a person interested in networking and wanting to better our community. The Legislative Committee provides a venue for you to get involved in the interests of business with government.

In most cases, your time commitment is usually no more than a couple of hours a month, and it a great way for you to give back a little to

your Chamber and the Com-munity. So, whether it is at the Board of Director’s level, a Committee member or just to help out at a Mixer, we look forward to your participation. Please give us a call today!

And always remember, if you have any suggestions for prospective new members or any comments, please contact me a call at 626-443-0180 or at ken@emsem.biz. Visit our web site for current member-activity photographs at www.emsem.biz and click on Featured Member Activity Photos. And of course you can like us on Facebook.

If you recall, Maitee Estrada, a Mountain View School District crossing guard, was hit by a vehicle on April 10th. Ms. Estrada was able to push a young boy from the vehicle’s path just prior to being hit. After being thrown some 70 feet, she sustained multiple in-juries that landed her in the hospital in critical condi-tion.

Upon hearing of the incident, John Lawrence,

owner of Lawrence Equip-ment Co., reached out with a donation of $5,000.00 for Ms. Estrada. “Many of our employee’s children use Ms. Estrada’s crosswalk daily, Mr. Lawrence stated, “we just wanted to help and say thank you”. In speaking to Ms. Estrada, she stated that she very grateful for such a generous donation when her family needs it the most.

Around the Town …… The San Gabriel City Council voted to set the date for a hearing to determine the residence of council member-elect Chin Ho Liao. The hearing has been set for Thursday April 25 at 1PM in council chambers. The council will hear the evidence relating to Fred Paine’s challenge of Mr. Liao’s residence as well as public comment. The public is invited to attend. You don’t want to miss this hearing. It’s very rare to not sit an elected official and even rarer for a city council to act as judge and jury. One thing is for certain, no matter what decision the city council makes, expect lawsuits to be filed by the losing party….. I wonder if someone could file a lawsuit against the city for its grow-ing collection of potholes. Maybe they could hold a hearing to get the opinion of residents of the city who have to navigate the streets like an obstacle course….. In the 100 years of the City of San Gabriel, there have been 66 Mayors. From 1913 thru 1988, the term of the Mayor was two years, and in 1990 the term changed to 9 months and 2 weeks. Beginning in 1994, the term changed again this time to one year. It’s been 19 years since the last term change, so I’m expecting any day a new change to the term of the Mayor. I’m sure that City Council could come up with creative term; maybe it could call a special session or hearing to determine what the term of Mayor should be. Don’t be sur-prised if shorter terms were voted on by local residents, it happens in San Gabriel every twenty years or so….. Public Works Day is set for May 23rd when the City of San Gabriel hosts its 11th Annual Open House at the City Yard, 121 W. Mission Rd from 10AM - 2PM. Equipment demonstra-tions and exhibits from the City, Southern California Edison, Athens Services and other agencies will be featured. Don’t expect any pothole repair demonstra-tions though as the current crew may not have enough experience in performing

that highly complex job…. San Gabriel has four Parks throughout the City includ-ing Smith Park, Plaza Park, Grapevine Arbor Park and Vincent Lugo Park. Smith Park was established in 1932 with a generous estate donation of $10,000 by John F. Smith. The Munici-pal Pool was constructed in 1953 at a cost of $70,000. Plaza Park is owned by the San Gabriel Mission and was the first home of the Mission Play. Originally named Sherwood Park in honor of Mrs. Howard U. Sherwood, the park is used primarily as an open green space adjacent to the Mis-sion. The Grapevine Arbor Park was home to the his-toric Trinity Vine which was transplanted by Leonard Rose. The City of San Ga-briel acquired the property in 1947. Vincent Lugo Park was originally nicknamed ‘McKinley’s Badlands’ was a landfill project which required 200,000 square yards of earth to fill it in to become a park. Originally named Municipal Park, the park was renamed for the former Park Supervisor who oversaw development and maintenance of the Park.

Guam to Saigon: Ghosts of War (Part 3)

• Dwain C. Crum •

"Peace is better than war". These were the words spo-ken by World War II veteran Gregory Melikian while do-ing a presentation during my cruise on the Pacific Prin-cess. “Peace is better than War”, is a simple statement, but one that is not always carried out. Gregory should know, it was he who sent the

telex announcing the uncon-ditional surrender of the Ger-man land, sea and air forces during World War II. Like my dad, he was drafted by the United States Army but while my dad was sent to the Pacific to fight the Japanese he was sent to Europe to

fight the Germans. Gregory has donated his copy of the telex to Arizona State Uni-versity for display. I had the pleasure of talking about my dad with Mr. Melikian before he left the ship.

Another friend of mine, who I met on the ship, is Joan Brown from England. Joan had sailed over 600

days with Princess before this cruise began. She had worked for British Intelli-gence during World War II. For many years she was not allowed to talk about what she did during the war. Her main job was catching Ger-man spies. Once when I was

hav-ing lunch at a table with a couple from Florida who I had just met I asked Joan to join us. The conversation turned to her experiences during the war and about the bombing of London. Then the woman from Florida,

quite a bit younger than Joan, mentioned that she remembered the bomb-ing of Berlin as a child. She had been born in Germany. It was an awkward moment - you could see the pain in her eyes. The Ghosts of War are more vivid in some people's memories.

At Hiroshima, Japan I went and visited the Hiroshima Peace Memo-rial Museum. I felt that it was something that I

had to do. The war in Europe had ended for people like Gregory and Joan with the surrender of Germany but in the Pacific the war dragged

on for my father. Then on August 6, 1945 the United States, under the orders of Harry S Truman, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. A few days later a second bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki and Japan finally surrendered.

I would also like to thank VFW 10218 for a wonderful welcome, El Monte is truly friendly.”

Mr. Fulk and his wife Rene presented Welcome Home Coins from VFW to two new members of Post 10218. Javier Gonzalez, a Marine served in Iraq and Rodrigo Valdez, also a Ma-rine served in Afghanistan.

A delicious dinner of tamales, chili verde, rice, beans and salads was then served and enjoyed by all. The meal was prepared and served by members wives.

The evening was topped off by an excellent per-formance by the Ballet Folklorico of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church directed by Robert Hernandez.

The performers danced and dressed from various parts of Mexico. The color-ful costumes and vibrant dancing was appreciated by all who attended.

Commander Mike Felix stated, “It was a wonderful evening and we were proud to sponsor the event. It was a chance for us to “show-off” our Hall and Veterans Service Center. Everything done was the effort of our Veterans and I am extremely proud of them. I’m also grateful for our relationship with the City and the sup-port they have for Veterans.”

Felix also urged all young returning Veterans to join the VFW, “Do not make the mistake, us Viet-Nam Vets made and shun the govern-ment and the V.A. and years later regret that decision as we get old and infirmed and need help that we can not get now. Sign-up and have your name on file.” The Veterans of Foreign Wars is located at 11126 Ramona Blvd (behind 99 cent store) and is open daily, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The phone number is (626) 448-1737.

Go Knicks!

I loved the Knicks with Bernard King, wasn’t into them with Patrick Ewing, but I could get into them (as much as I can get into basketball these days) making a long, long playoff run.

Yeah, Matt Kemp is not hit-ting. Andre Ethier is what he is. Adrian Gonzalez...yeah, that dude is alright.

But why is everyone so uptight about the Dodgers slow start? Look at the rest of their infield? Look at the bench. Punto? Schumacher? Uribe? Sellers?

The slow start is easy to explain, they’re not a very good team right now.

It’s throwing season...

Keep an eye on Gabrielino’s Elijah Peters...He’s only going to be a junior and he has an excellent receiver in Jeremy Franco.

Don’t want to upset the Mon-rovia faithful, but right now I believe Downey would run all over the Wildcats if they were to play.

Bad trade by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cornerback Darrelle Revis’s best days are behind him and he costs too much. There were loud sighs of relief that blew west this last weekend. One the bad guys in the Boston bombings were caught. Two, the New York Jets were ecstatic at getting rid of Revis and his contract.

Only Add Lakers: Dwight

Howard jump shooter.Bad week for Sunday night

football...Faith Hill has retired from singing the opening and now Al Michaels has been popped for driving under the influence.

The next HC at Arcadia will be happy to have a healthy Joey Harmon next fall.

By the way, who is the next HC at Arcadia.

Love the NFL Draft.I like the idea of the Rams

taking Eddie Lacy out of Ala-bama.

Consider yourself a deluxe Rams fan if you remember who Don Klosterman was.

El Monte High School will be running its football camp for the community on Saturday, June 8th. If interested contact El Monte football HC Joel Sanchez at 626-258-5045 or EMFTBL@yahoo.com (Only 120 spots are available.)

I’m really starting to get a feeling for fantasy baseball...At least for now, it might change if I start to lose.

Okay, Lakers One More Time: Does anyone remember a guy named Andrew Bynum?

And since we’re talking about returning standouts in the Mission Valley League you still want to keep an eye on Arroyo DT Robert Sanchez. At 6-1 250 as a sophomore in 2012 he figures to only get bigger over the next two years.

“The God of Angel Armies is always by my side.” ---Chris Tomlin

La Salle racked up eight runs in the first four innings and Vanessa Dwyer threw a complete game as the Lady Lancers cruised to a 10-3 win over Temple City Saturday.

La Salle got to the TC pitching staff early scoring three runs right out of the gate in the first inning. They scored in each of the first four innings including three more in the third to break it open at 8-3. The two runs in the seventh were just icing on the victory cake.

In the first Beverly Valerio, and Paula Damas walked and Caroline Knop was hit by a pitch. Stephanie Ferri was also plunked to force in a run and when Alexi Zate reached on an error another run scored. Dwyer shot a single to center for a 3-0 lead.

Leading 4-3, La Salle posted another three in the third. Lauren Gomez singled to center and Zate was hit by

a pitch. Dwyer walked to load the bases and Riley Worley whistled a base hit to right to drive in a run. Valerio’s base hit drove in two more.

In the seventh, a bunt single by Valerio, a sacrifice fly by Damas and back to back doubles by Knop and Ferri produced two more runs.

Jennifer Pegg had two hits and a run scored for Temple City and Erin Kubo and Ciara

Schnyder also had had hits and scored but it was not nearly enough to deter La Salle.

Dwyer struck out a bat-ter and did not issue a walk in going the distance. It was the first complete game of the year for the freshman. The Lady Rams had ten hits overall but did not score a run after the second inning.

On this date, April 24, 1993, Mt. View alum Rich Rodri-guez went an inning and two/thirds for the San Diego Pa-dres in a 5-3 victory over the New York Mets in a day game at Shea Stadium.

Rodriguez, a stand out wide receiver for the Vikings in the early 1980s, threw 21-pitches and struck out a batter in the relief stint.

His MLB career would span from 1990 to 2003 as he

would appear in 609 games as a middle reliever for eight different franchises including a brief stint with the Angels in 2003. His overall record was 31-22.

Note: Two months to the day after his appearance at Shea against the Mets, Ro-driguez and Gary Sheffield were traded to the Florida Marlins in the deal that brought Trevor Hoffman to the Padres.

I'm not sure why there is such an uproar about Mar-shall coming to the Mission Valley League. If I'm a card carrying member of the MVL I'm thrilled about the new entry.

Marshall, at least for the moment, isn't exactly setting the world on fire. Doesn't the rest of the league simply chalk up another victory when the Eagles are on the schedule?

Heck, for a team like Mt. View or Gabrielino it could be a confidence builder. The argument I'm hearing against Marshall is that it weakens the league. Okay but Marshall isn't going to be the weak link forever. With Blair on the way out and an influx of athletes there will eventually be a turnaround. When the change comes into effect in 2014 Blair might already be a goner. Now if they argue that Marshall should change its name to something other than Eagles I can see the point. Three teams in a seven team league with the same name is a bit much.

Rosemead head coach Marc Paramo and Marshall HC Jim Arellanes both said they are looking forward to the challenge of squaring off against each other. They used to work together at Rosemead for Matt Koffler when Paramo was the DC and Arellanes the OC.

You ever notice when releaguing takes place the CIF is always quick to point out that all sports are con-sidered. But when you see the quotes they are always from football coaches and when there are going to be appeals, it is the football coaches who are doing the appealing.

Former Pasadena OC and long time area coach Michael McKay said quar-terback Brandon Cox is “tearing it up” at Utah. Cox is participating in spring workouts at Utah and will begin his freshman year in September.

Buena Park Coach An-thony White sent in a tape of Cox' Pop Warner high-lights to the Utah recruiting coordinator back in 2008. Interesting story.

Another local quarter-back, Schurr's Aaron Cantu parlayed a two year stint at ELAC into a scholar-ship offer at Southern Utah. Cantu is working out with the first team in spring

workouts.I'm not sure why Marshall

got approved to join the MVL but Crescenta Valley was denied in its attempt to join the Rio Hondo. It seemed like a good fit to me. Releaguing aside, any-body know the exact dates of the CV passing tourna-ment?

La Mirada's Dallis Todd may have verbally com-mitted to Oklahoma but that won't stop the offers from coming in. A ver-bal commitment is just that - a verbal. Todd hasn't signed anything yet and the Oklahoma offer will only increase the interest from other D-1 schools.

We'll hear about the Southeast and any other changes this Friday as the releaguing continues.

When the Dodgers get swept by the San Diego Padres at home, it doesn't matter if its April or Sep-tember there's something wrong. Three games below .500 (as of Saturday night) isn't exactly the way the new ownership had things planned. Mike Scioscia isn't the only manager in trouble. If the Dodgers had no prob-lem picking up the contracts of Josh Beckett and Carl Crawford, don't think for a minute that they won't show Don Mattingly the door and bring in a high priced man-ager. Tony LaRussa?

At last the real NBA season starts. Maybe it was because of the shortened NBA schedule last year but this season seemed like a never ending marathon. Contrary to what you may have heard last week, after a couple of Laker victories, no the Lakers aren't better without Kobe Bryant. Yes they have a chance against San Antonio, in fact they have two - slim and none. But against Oklahoma City, slim will be out of town.

As for the Clippers? Well, when do the NHL playoffs begin? I'm going with the Kings.

That's my principle. Tim can be reached at tim@

Arcadia 3, Crescenta Val-ley 2 David Dominguez (1/3, 2 RBI’s, BB) tied the game in the second inning on an RBI walk before belting a decisive and eventual game winning RBI double at the top of the sixth that drove Arcadia (14-6, 5-2) onto a convincing 3-2 victory over arch-rival Crescenta Valley (13-7, 5-2) at Stengel Field Friday to conclude the first round of Pacific league play.

Austin Georgen (6-2, 0.89 ERA, 47.0 IP, 48 K) started on the bump for the Apaches and fell behind 1-0 in the first after walking a bat-ter and pegging two more to load the bases with one

out, before Nolan Rea (1/3) singled in Bryan Wang (1/3, R, HBP) to put the Falcons ahead. Georgen then navi-gated out of the conundrum without further damage and nixed 11 of the next 12 he faced (including a pickoff to end the ensuing inning) from that point on to the end of the fourth.

Joe Torres (1/2, R, BB) led off the fifth on second base for CV after a single to left was mismanaged, and later scored to tie it at 2-2 when Michael Russo (0/2, BB) poked it back to Georgen, who afterward caught Jonny Psaltis (0/2, HBP) look-ing for the third out, before

leaving after back-to-back walks with one out to start the seventh.

Joey Harmon (2 SV, 0.00 ERA, 2.1 IP, 3 K) then took the pitching reins and got the job done in just five pitches, inducing a 6-4-3 double play at the end to notch his second save of the season and secure the win for both Georgen and Arcadia.

The victory brings the Apaches one game out of first with a 5-2 mark in league for third place, behind an all-Burbank city affair atop the standings. Just one game separates the top four teams.

The Temple City Parks and Recreation boys were hon-ored Wednesday night at City Hall for winning the Southern California basketball champi-onship.

The team, which consists of 8 and 9 year old All-Stars from Parks and Rec, and is led by Coach Raymond Ri-vera, first won the San Gabriel

Valley Championship before going on to take the Southern California title.

In the San Gabriel Valley Tournament they knocked off Pasadena in the championship game. Pasadena was waiting for Temple City again in the Southern California Champi-onship game but the TC boys were up to the task as they

took care of the City of Roses for a second time.

The team was called up one by one and presented with medals, applause and plenty of pictures from photogra-phers. It was a memorable year for the champions as they did their part to put Temple City on the map when it comes to youth basketball.

My feelings about the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum are mixed. While clearly dedicated to the elimination of all nuclear weapons, it seems less dedi-cated to peace in general. My dad always felt that Tru-man had done the right thing because it ended the war and saved many more lives in the long run, both Japanese and American. On that point there is really no debate.

I once asked my dad if he hated the Japanese because of everything he had been through during the war. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said - No. He told me that he always knew that governments make war

and that the people fighting you on the other side are not all that different from you. They have families and hopes and dreams not unlike yourself and that most of them are simply fighting for their country like you are. No, he didn't hate the Japanese.

As my tour guide, Martha, talked about how her late fa-ther had been in the Japanese Army during World War II and how he had been one of the earliest people sent into Hiroshima after the bombing I couldn't help but reflect on Gregory's words "Peace is better than war".

My ship then sailed to Inchon, in South Korea.

The Kiwanis Club of Temple City recognized two outstanding students from the Dr. Doug Sears Learning Center. Pictured with the proud students are DDSLC teachers Mr. Andrew Jahan and Mr. Reggie Rios.

Michael is 16 years old and in Mr. Jahan, Mr. Pat-terson, Mr. Rios, and Mrs. Robert’s class. He enjoys video games, skateboard-ing, and music. Michael said, “The best things about the Learning Center are the great staff and teachers, the students, and being able to work at my own pace.” His favorite memory was the fishing fieldtrip in Long Beach. Personal goals are to graduate early and become a paramedic.

Jamie is 16 years old and in Mr. Jahan, Mr. Rios, and

Mrs. Robert’s class. He has an older brother and enjoys music, movies, and learn-ing new things. Jamie said, “The best things about the Learning Center are the nice teacher and staff, working at my own pace, and catching up on my credits.” His fa-vorite memory is the basket-ball court. Personal goals are to go to college or university, own a nice house and a car..

Each week the Temple City Kiwanis Club is pleased to recognize outstanding stu-dents and their teachers from Cloverly, Emperor, Longden, Oak Avenue, and the Dr. Doug Sears Learning Cen-ter. Kiwanis treats students and their teacher to lunch. Students receive a certificate, a letter for their parents, a bumper sticker, a gift cer-tificate from The Hat Res-

taurant, and a photograph of them receiving their award. Their photo will also be pub-lished in Temple City Life, Mid Valley News, Temple City Tribune, and displayed in the Temple City Unified School District lobby.

Temple City Kiwanis has been serving our community since 1939. Members are dedicated men and women who desire to make a differ-ence in the quality of life for the youth of Temple City. Kiwanis meets at 12:00 noon each Tuesday at Denny’s Restaurant. To find out more about Kiwanis, please call Jerry Jambazian at (626) 286-2444.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auc-tion does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be respon-sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this prop-erty by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more

than one mortgage or deed of trust on the prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgag-ee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applica-ble, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-11-456111-EV . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be re-flected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-ponement information is to attend the sched-uled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the prop-erty address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any rea-son, the Purchaser at the sale shall be enti-tled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previ-ously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report re-flecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.
