Did You Know?

By K.p. SandeR Let’s say that you take care of

yourself. You do all the neces-sary things to eat right every day, exercise regularly, and work hard to have a great balance of work/play/family/personal time. Life is good, and you’re feeling healthy.

But despite all your efforts, things are not so healthy. Dan-gers lurk all about your home in every day products that seem so innocent.

Just as important as what you put in your body, is what you put on your body and what you are exposed to. According to realfar-macy.com, the Cancer Preven-tion Coalition (CPC) has put to-gether the top 12 most common products manufactured by “big business” that need to be avoid-ed and kept out of your homes and away from your body.

• Johnson & Johnson Baby (Talcum) Powder: Talc is a car-cinogenic and a risk factor for ovarian cancer, not to mention a lung irritant.

• Procter & Gamble Cover Girl Replenishing Natural Finish Foundation: Not so “natural,” this make-up contains parabens, untested fragrances, lanolin, talc, and BHA – just to mention a few – all known to cause or be asso-ciated with cancer and dermatitis.

• Procter & Gamble Crest Tar-tar Control Toothpaste: Would you switch to a natural toothpaste if you knew you were brushing twice a day with carcinogenics FD&C #1 and Saccharin? Time to switch.

• Alberto VO5 Conditioner (Essence of Neutral Henna): Essence of cancer, with formal-dehyde, polysorbate 80, FD&C Red #4 and other undisclosed

ingredients hidden in fragrance. • Clairol Nice ‘n Easy (Perma-

nent Hair Color): There is nothing nice and easy about carcinogen-ics, neurotoxins, and dermatitis, but you can find these things hid-den in quaternium-15, diethanol-amine and phenylene-diamines. The article also notes a “causal relation to non-Hodgkin’s lym-phoma, multiple myeloma and other cancers.

• Colgate-Palmolive Ajax Cleanser and Reckitt & Colman Zud Heavy Duty Cleanser: Both contain the unlabeled toxic in-gredient of crystalline silica, a carcinogenic and eye, skin and lung irritant.

• Reckitt & Colman Lysol Dis-infectant Spray: Although the carcinogenicity is denied in their Material Safety and Data Sheet, the carcinogenic and irritant, or-thophenylphenol is an ingredi-ent.

• Sandoz Agro Zodiac Cat & Dog Flea Collar: With carcino-genic and neurotoxin, propoxur, around your pet’s neck, the fleas aren’t the only ones in jeopardy.

• Monsanto Ortho Weed-B-Gon Lawn Weed Killer: “Weed Killer” labels don’t leave much to the imagination – something is going to die. Just make sure you wear gloves and masks when using these types of products so you aren’t exposed to carcino-gens and neurotoxins.

• Oscar Mayer Beef Frankfurt-ers: Don’t you just love throwing some benzene hexachloride, dacthal, dieldrin, DDT, lindane, nitrates, hormones and antibiot-ics on your summertime grill? In the case of a hot dog, if it isn’t chemical and nitrate-free, and made up of pure, normal parts – don’t go there.

• Borden or Lucerne Whole Milk: Milk does not do a body good in this particular case, with DDT, growth hormones, antibi-otics and other carcinogenics

mixed in. Find another option to dunk your cookies in.

• Most Brand-Name Laundry Detergents: Clemson Univer-sity conducted a study which found that 2% of a fabric’s weight comes from laundry detergent. The skin absorbs 75% of any fat soluble substance it comes into contact with within 26 seconds, and laundry detergents include anionic surfactants, petroleum distillates, phenols (and more) that are toxic, carcinogenic and can cause organ damage.

The realfarmacy.com article states that current product la-beling provides no warnings for cancer and other chronic health risks. Food is labeled for cho-

lesterol, but not for carcinogens. Frankly, high cholesterol is the least of your worries in these in-stances.

In the “Top 10 Most Unhealthy, Cancer Causing Foods,” Ameri-can political activist, Ralph Na-der, says, “What is particularly galling about the ‘Dirty Dozen,’ is that these toxic chemicals don’t have to be there. Yet these cor-porations continue to expose people to health hazards unnec-essarily.”

Do yourself and your family a favor, and read labels, edu-cate yourself on chemical that you use on a regular basis, and begin to eliminate them all from your house and your life.

The Gifts Of LifeBy michael aRmiJo

When I was growing up, I had a great friend named Todd Mestas. When I would go to his house, sometimes we would sit down to have lunch and eat a sandwich along with a few chips, a glass of milk, and two Oreo cookies. If I asked for more cookies, Todd’s mother would simply say, “Two is enough.” There was no need for overindulgence. We would all eat together and function as a family. My time with Todd taught me about limits and structure.

I also had a friend named Craig Swanson. Craig taught me about business, computers, repair and marketing. My time with Craig taught me about work skills.

Another friend of mine was Stephan Morrow. He reminded me of Tony Soprano, and would always say “come to papa” when I was sad or struggling. My time with Stephan taught me you can be tough and tender.

Mike Mendez was another friend of mine. Mike taught me about family, and how to be in-volved. My time with Mike en-couraged me to be a good hus-band.

My very best friend was Jef-frey Lowe. Jeff was a reserve Sheriff. When I first started my company 17 years ago, Jeff en-couraged me and helped me represent what I was trying to do. At that time I was nervous and insecure. My time with Jeff taught me about confidence and generosity of time.

My mother’s name is Marie Armijo. She used to tell me on

a weekly basis that she wouldn’t know what she would do without me. She said that she will, and has, always loved me. My time with my mother taught me that I was always loved.

I grew up in a world of abuse and neglect, but all of the things that I learned from people that I cared about – and who I knew cared about me – helped me to get through my fears and inse-curities. Every time I would visit them, it would reinforce these life lessons.

Now, each of these individuals – so dear to me – has passed away within the last two years. In this, I realized that a little piece of me died with each one of them. I found myself empty and no longer knowing who I was.

It is interesting how we sub-consciously react to certain trag-edies. Sometimes we don’t re-alize the depths to which death can affect us; personal loss can change us and give us a feeling that we have lost control.

Fortunately, I have discov-ered what these losses have done to me. I now understand that I have not lost the value of my time spent with these loved ones. Instead, I have the pre-cious gifts that they unselfishly gave me. Those gifts can never be taken from me.

As I reflect on the wonderful memories that I have surround-ing these people, I will accept the grieving process and be thank-ful. I will honor these individuals by being grateful for all the gifts that they have given me – for these are all gifts that make me who I am.

Mayor Steve Tye and Council members Jack Tanaka and Carol Herrera from the City of Diamond Bar, present a proclamation to Maggie Pierce, Executive Director; John Bigley, MD, Area Medical Director; and Rick Rosoff, Chief Administrative Officer, all from Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center, in honor of opening a new building and services at Kaiser Permanente’s Diamond Bar Medical Offices.

New Services At Diamond Bar Medical Offices

By maRia lenGeRKe heRRinGton

Diamond Bar – Kaiser Per-manente hosted a reception on June 4 to celebrate the expan-sion and new services offered at its Diamond Bar Medical Of-fices, located at 1336 Bridge Gate Drive. More than 120 representatives from local busi-nesses, including city officials from Diamond Bar, attended the event that also featured tours of the facility.

Conveniently located in the Gateway Center at the 57 and 60 freeways, the two-story, 34,000 square-foot expansion houses physicians and ancil-lary staff that speak a variety of different languages including English, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese. Services include Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Behav-ioral Health, Optometry/Optical Dispensing, and Vision Essen-tials. The building is attached to the existing medical offices that offer Family Medicine, Labora-tory, Radiology, and Pharmacy.

“We’re delighted to be able to expand existing services

and offer new services in the Diamond Bar community,” says John Bigley, MD, Area Medical Director, Kaiser Permanente, Baldwin Park Medical Cen-ter. “We serve approximately 20,000 members and average 26,000 visits per year. Mem-bers come to us from not only Diamond Bar, but also the surrounding communities of Rowland Heights, Hacienda Heights, and Walnut. Our new facility enables us to meet the needs of our growing member-ship while also providing con-venience.”

The eco-friendly design and

construction of the expansion demonstrates Kaiser Perma-nente’s commitment to the envi-ronment and to the community.

The “green” roof on the sec-ond floor provides additional thermal insulation that helps to reduce energy use and cooling costs. Natural light is included throughout the building to re-duce the need for artificial light. Recycled wood accents the center core of both the first and second floors. The irrigation system is designed to use 35 percent less water with the ca-pability to tie in to future city po-table reclaimed water systems.

“These new features help to preserve energy and other nat-ural resources, and reduce our environmental impact,” adds Bigley.

Kaiser Permanente is com-mitted to helping shape the future of health care. They are recognized as one of America’s leading health care providers and not-for-profit health plans. Founded in 1945, their mission is to provide high-quality, af-fordable health care services to improve the health of mem-bers and the communities they serve. They currently serve 3.9 million members in Southern California. Facilities are located in Baldwin Park, Diamond Bar, Montebello, San Dimas, and West Covina. Care for members and patients is focused on their total health and guided by their personal physicians, specialists, and a team of caregivers. Expert and caring medical teams are empowered and supported by industry-leading technological advances and tools for health promotion, disease prevention, state-of-the art care delivery, and world-class chronic disease management. Kaiser Perma-nente is dedicated to care inno-vations, clinical research, health education, and the support of community health. For more information, please visit kp.org/baldwinpark.

Kaiser Permanente expands with green features to help reduce environmental impacts

“My hope is that what we are doing with the Leader in Me program

is so impactful that eventually it has noth-ing to do with me – but

it has everything to do with McKinley and what they are doing.”

rona, and in 2009 became prin-cipal of that school.

Evita Tapia, Public Informa-tion Officer for CNUSD says about Dietrich, “He is the per-

fect fit to be an elementary school principal, with his high energy and amiable personal-ity.”

Two years ago, the Dis-trict moved Dietrich to William McKinley Elementary to imple-ment some of the successes he had realized at John Adams.

In Dietrich’s tenure, McKin-ley is definitely enjoying some success. McKinley is the first in the Inland Empire to become a “Leader in Me” site, a whole-school transformational pro-cess that teaches students how to be leaders of themselves, and how to work with other people using the soft skills of the 21st century (focusing on Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People).

Implemented in over 2,000

schools worldwide, the Leader in Me process has schools con-sistently reporting an increase in students’ self-confidence, teamwork, initiative, creativi-ty, leadership, problem solv-ing, communication, diversity awareness and self-directed learning – as well as dramatic decreases in disciplinary is-sues (according to the Leader in Me website).

“What’s great is that the Leader in Me program has bonded the staff at McKin-ley; it’s given us something to be proud of. And, its turning heads, making other schools notice us,” says Dietrich. “Oth-er District schools are now in

the process of becoming Lead-er in Me schools because of what we are doing.”

Surprised that he won the award, Dietrich says, “It’s vali-dating for what is happening at McKinley. I’m the one getting the recognition, but it’s all about what the team is doing.”

In fact, Dietrich’s team was just notified that they are receiv-ing the Models of Academic Ex-cellence and Innovation award from the Riverside County Of-fice of Education; and they are one of CNUSD’s three nomi-nations for the California Gold-en Bell award, a prestigious recognition from the California School Board Association.

KaBOOM! a new playground

guin, area residents, and orga-nizers from KaBOOM!.

“For many years, we have wanted to have a playground where the youth we work with would have regular and easy access and where they could creatively play in a more open environment,” says Charles Rich, Executive Director at Da-vid & Margaret Youth and Fami-ly Services. “Up until this amaz-ing opportunity we received from KaBOOM! and Disney, it has been cost prohibitive. We can’t say enough about how excited our students and clients were to be a part of building this playground for them.”

A playground is more than a playground. It’s a brain-ex-pander, friend-maker, and mus-cle-builder. Play is central to a child’s ability to grow into a productive adult. The design is based on children’s drawings created at a special event in March. Their ideas were then incorporated into the final play-ground design.

Disney Club Penguin - the number one virtual world for kids - believes that everyone de-serves a safe, fun place to play, learn and grow. Since 2007, Club Penguin has donated over $12 million to projects to make the world a better place.

“We’re proud to participate in this playground build and excit-ed to represent our Club Pen-guin community, which cares deeply about all kids having a safe place to play,” said Chris Heatherly, Senior Vice Presi-dent and General Manager of Disney Interactive. “A safe place to play, whether in the online world or offline, enables kids to have the freedom to be creative, use their imaginations and ex-press themselves.”

Since 1996, KaBOOM! has been dedicated to the goal of ensuring that all children get the balanced and active play they need to thrive because play matters. The new playground is one of many made possible with support from Disney as part of the “Magic of Healthy Living,” an initiative that partners with parents to inspire kids to lead healthier lifestyles. By the end of 2015, Disney’s support will bring the magic of play to over 83,000 kids and families.

“Play is central to a child’s ability to grow into a healthy and productive adult,” said Kevin Callahan, Vice President of community and engage-ment, Corporate Citizenship at Disney. “Disney is proud to join KaBOOM! and accelerate efforts that move every child to play every day - at home, in school, and in the communi-ty. Together, we hope to make places to play more accessible, and inspire kids and families to stay active.”

Walnut council recap

influence on the City of Walnut - which has a large Filipino com-munity.

The Council also recognized the winners of the Walnut PONY League (7 and under) all-star championship team; and Pane-ra Bread as the Spring 2015 Business of the Quarter.

After the recognitions, there was a presentation by indepen-dent auditors from Lance, Soll and Lunghard, reviewing the 2014 financial audit for the ben-efit of the residents in concern to infrastructure.

Rich Kikuchi, partner for Lance, Soll and Lunghard, stat-ed that Walnut’s audit took sev-eral hundred hours, coming to the conclusion that the City’s finances were correct, had no financial weaknesses and were deemed “materially correct.” Ki-kuchi said they are currently in preparation for their next audit of the City in August. He also mentioned that the 2015 audit will be ready sometime in No-vember.

Mayor Nancy Tragarz then launched into several ques-tions, bringing up her long standing questions regarding suspicious expenses and a lack of malpractice insurance for City Attorney, Michael Mont-gomery. Tragarz stated that she was questioning certain

contracts under the need for transparency, while City Man-ager, Robert Wishner, stated that Walnut has always man-aged its finances correctly and that Lance, Soll and Lunghard have done an exemplary job auditing the City for years.

After the presentation was over, Tragarz was still blocked from setting a meeting with Ki-kuchi and his firm, but planned on creating a future meeting to look deeper into the policies and finances that she believes are worth taking a second look at.

The Council then moved on to its public hearing items, starting with an ordinance to modify the definition for boardinghouses or rooming houses, which are currently illegal in the City. The Council approved the ordinance after no one stepped forward to speak during public comment.

The Council also read an or-dinance prohibiting parking on various City streets in the vicin-ity of Mount San Antonio Col-lege. Traffic Engineer, Tom Gil-berton, said the new ordinance would affect Varsity Drive near Mt. SAC. He mentioned that the ordinance had been brought to

the Council since residents have claimed that Mt. SAC students constantly litter in the area.

The Council approved the ordinance, banning parking on Varsity Drive.

The Council also approved an ordinance regarding permit processes for small residential rooftop solar energy systems and inspections, as well as set-ting a public hearing for the mat-ter on June 24.

The Council then approved all items on its Consent Cal-endar, including a resolution for claims and demands in the amount of $454,469.11; a res-olution to establish the 2015-16 appropriation limit; a resolu-tion for management, general, and part-time salary schedule changes; a resolution for sew-er system management plan recertification; the approval of a two-year contract with Nieves Landscape, Inc., as the City contractor for landscape main-tenance in lighting and open space maintenance Zone 9 with no increase; an award of bid to Triton Communications Inc., for City-wide telephone systems; sports group requests for bian-

nual field use for fall 2015; a bin-go permit application submitted by the Walnut Senior Club and request for waiver; a request to proceed with formal bids for school crossing guard services; an approval of a one-year con-tract with Athletic Field Special-ists for sports field maintenance at Creekside, Snow Creek and Suanne Parks; the final accep-tance of the Valley Crest Land-scape Maintenance, Inc. notice of completion for the CalSense Irrigation Controller Installation Project; and an award of bid to Sports Field Services for trail improvements.

The final item of the night was a Council discussion item concerning the continuance of a nuisance abatement hearing, appealing the City Manager re-garding the abatement and re-moval of a wall located at 20638 Loyalton Drive. However, the Council moved to bring the item back at a later time to discuss the item in detail.

After announcements, the Council adjourned with plans to meet on June 24 at 7 p.m. in chambers located at 21201 La Puente Road.

San Dimas murder suspect wanted

located in the 1000 block of W. Arrow Highway in San Di-mas, brandishing a gun and demanding money. The own-er, Patel, complied, giving the suspect cash from the reg-ister. When the suspect ran outside, Patel followed and a physical altercation com-menced in the parking lot – the suspect then shot Patel and fled on foot.

Patel was transported to a local hospital, and later suc-cumbed to his injuries.

According to the L.A. Coun-ty Sheriff’s Department, the suspect is described as a male Hispanic or Caucasian in his mid 20s, 180 pounds, with a tall and skinny build. At the time he was wearing a base-ball hat, black t-shirt and plaid shorts.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unani-mously approved a motion by Mayor Michael Antonovich of-fering a $20,000 reward for in-formation leading to the arrest and/or conviction of the sus-pect responsible for the mur-der of Patel.

On a memorial page dedi-cated to Pravin Rabojibhai Pa-tel, 62, of San Dimas, he was remembered as a hard-work-ing family man, known for bringing people together. He is survived by his loving wife, Maya, a son and daughter, and two grandchildren. Patel – who went by “Peter” - was reportedly looking forward to retiring in a few years so he could spend more time with his loved ones.

“He will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him,” the memorial page stated.

If you recognize or have infor-mation on the person depicted in the sketch, you are encour-aged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website http://lac-rimestoppers.org.

residence with her 8-year old son. The victim had allegedly been choked unconscious with an electrical power cord by her boyfriend, Francisco Javier Mu-noz, 26, of Ontario. The sus-pect fled the scene prior to the Officers’ arrival.

The victim reportedly woke to her boyfriend striking her and trying to strangle her. She was transported to a local hospital where she was subsequently released following treatment for her injuries.

The Pomona Police Depart-ment reported that at approx-

imately 7 p.m. that same day, the suspect was apprehended at a park near his residence in the 1200 block of 4th St. in the city of Ontario. Members of the Major Crimes Task Force initi-ated a surveillance of the sus-pect’s residents and observed him in the park a short time later.

Munoz was taken into cus-tody without incident. He was booked into the Pomona Jail and is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Of-fice, Munoz was charged with three felony counts including attempted murder, injury, and assault by means likely to pro-duce great bodily injury – and requested that bail be raised to $1.03 million. If convicted as charged, Munoz faces a pos-sible maximum sentence of life plus five years in state prison.

Due to the nature of the do-mestic violence crime, the victim’s name has not been released.

The L.A. County District Attor-ney’s Office lists the suspect’s name as Francisco Javier Mu-nozcapetillo; the Pomona Police Department lists Francisco Javi-er Munoz. Both are in reference to the same individual.

OC debt relief consumer fraud

Christopher Harati, 31, both of Orange County, were in-volved in connection with debt relief companies known as Nelson Gamble & Associates, and Jackson, Hunter, Morris & Knight, LLP. According to the U.S. Department of Jus-tice, the defendants and their co-conspirators portrayed the debt relief companies as law firms and attorney-based com-panies that would negotiate fa-vorable settlements with cred-itors. Clients made monthly payments expecting the mon-ey to go toward settlements. The companies instead took an amount equal to at least 15 percent of clients’ total debt as company fees, with the first six months of payments going almost entirely toward undis-closed up-front fees.

“Debt relief service scams prey on vulnerable consumers trying to climb out of tough fi-nancial situations,” said Princi-pal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Benjamin C. Mizer, of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “The Justice De-

partment will aggressively pur-sue the criminals who operate these schemes.”

Maldonado admitted that she acted as the “legal depart-ment” for both companies, and used multiple aliases when responding to complaints sub-mitted by state attorney gener-al offices, the Better Business Bureau and private attorneys. Maldonado admitted that, af-ter Nelson Gamble changed its name to Jackson Hunter, she responded to consumer complaints by falsely stating, among other things, that the two companies were not re-lated and that Jackson Hunter could not refund money paid to Nelson Gamble.

Harati admitted that he worked as a client relations manager for the companies and handled complaint calls from clients. He admitted he told customers that Nelson Gamble and Jackson Hunter were sep-arate companies, falsely stat-ed that Jackson Hunter was a nationwide law firm with years of experience, and made other misrepresentations designed to convince customers to stay with the company.

The defendants each face a statutory maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or an alternate fine of twice the loss or twice the gain, whichever is greater, along with mandatory restitu-tion. Their sentencing dates have not been set.

On Dec. 3, 2014, a grand jury in Santa Ana, California, returned a 22-count indict-ment charging Jeremy Nel-son, Elias Ponce and John Vartanian, all of Orange County, for mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to com-mit mail and wire fraud in the same fraudulent scheme. The trial in that case is scheduled to begin on Feb. 16, 2016, in Los Angeles.

The Federal Trade Commis-sion brought a civil case against Nelson Gamble, Jackson Hunt-er and other defendants in September 2012, alleging that the defendants falsely claimed they would reduce consumers’ unsecured debt by 50 percent or more, made unauthorized charges to their bank accounts and called phone numbers list-ed on the National Do Not Call Registry.

Conversations At Costco

Getting Out Of Our Own Way

Straight Talk With Danice

By paStoR maRK hoppeR

My moth-e r - i n - l a w lives in Scottsdale, A r i z o n a . We enjoy visiting her

as often as we can. The drive from California to Arizona takes about five hours each way.

My wife and her mother of-ten go out to lunch when we are in town. My wife has sever-al sisters who live in the Phoe-nix area, so they usually join in these lunch time adventures.

One of my jobs is to go to Costco to refill our car with gas and to pick up a few groceries, too. So, I usually have lunch at Costco by myself while my wife and her sisters have lunch with their mother.

The Costco in Scottsdale has an indoor eating area. I’ve noticed that a lot of the people eating at Costco are retired people. Many have come from

come who they were intended to be. We do this so we don’t have to accept responsibility for getting in our own way. It’s much easier to convince our-selves that somebody else is to blame for our failures, rather than looking inward.

There is usually a reason we get in our own way. Sometimes we get comfortable in our mis-ery or in our failure to change. I think there is some amount of fear that comes with change. I think there are those that are afraid of success, because it comes with a certain amount of expectation. For me, staying

I can’t get them to come out of my mouth when people are pushy with me. I once bought $700 worth of silverware that I didn’t need, accepted auto fi-nancing that wasn’t in my best interest, and hosted a baby shower and a bridal shower for my cousin because my aunt

Almost every time I sit down to eat at Costco, I find myself in conversations with total strang-ers. I suppose I am the one who usually starts the conver-sation, but most folks are very friendly and are willing to share about themselves.

Each conversation is delight-ful. I have met nice people from Maine to Minnesota. There are people from Seattle to St. Louis. They always talk about how wonderful the weather is in Arizona. They are friendly folk.

Some are just seasonal vis-itors, but many have bought a home and settled down in the desert. Some are new trans-plants, but others have lived there for many years.

When I tell them that I grew up there many years ago, they act like they are speaking to a celebrity. They can’t believe that my parents came to Arizona

ing so much potential, but nev-er seeing that or becoming who they were intended to be. You need to take a look at why you keep getting in your own way. Do you fear change? Do you fear success? Do you fear be-coming who you were intended to be? Maybe you just don’t feel like you deserve anything more than you already have. Whatever the reason is, you need to get out of your own way and stop preventing the good from coming.

You need to tear down the road blocks you have put up and begin to understand just how wonderful you are and how amazing life could be. We all have the potential to be who we are intended to be. The trick is to stop fighting with ourselves and give ourselves permission to overcome our obstacles and

I’m the dog and house sitter, and the friend who is always asked to be the des-ignated driver. In short, I get taken for granted. I like to be nice, but I’m starting to think I’m my own worst enemy. What is your recommendation?

A: First of all, I will say that I can tell you are a very sweet and gentle-natured person. These are marvelous qualities. Many gentle-natured people get taken for granted and many eventually learn to have healthy boundaries so they don’t feel abused. De-veloping your sense of self worth would go a long way in helping you to stand up for yourself.

Scottsdale certainly has changed since the days when my parents moved there 60 years ago. There are a lot more houses and a lot more people. It seems like most of the peo-ple today shop at Costco. And, a lot of those people take time to eat lunch and talk with folks they have never met before.

Let me encourage you to watch for an opportunity to be-gin a conversation with some-one at your local Costco or coffee shop; maybe an older couple or individual sitting by themselves. You will enjoy it, and they will too!

A reenactment at Colonial Williamsburg

C.J. Morris To Explore AmericaBy Kelli Gile

Walnut – Two Walnut Valley educators will soon experience an exciting week of learning at the world’s largest living history museum.

C.J. Morris Elementary 5th Grade teachers, Tara Noelte and Jennifer Veneracion, have been invited to attend the Colo-nial Williamsburg Teacher Insti-tute in Virginia. They are among

50 teachers, selected from over 300 Los Angeles County appli-cants, who will study and expe-rience Colonial times.

The teachers will meet character interpreters of 18th Century people and become immersed in early American History through hands-on activ-ities and reenactments of his-toric events.

Participants will visit nearby Jamestown, the site of the first

permanent English colony in America, and spend a day at Yorktown visiting the battlefields where the Continental Army forced the British to surrender.

The professional develop-ment opportunity is slated for July 28 through Aug. 3.

These educators will bring back a new depth of knowl-edge and teaching strategies to show students that history is vibrant and alive!
