September to pediatric cancer awareness in honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. The highlight of the month’s activities was the naming of five-year old cancer patient Doryan Torres Carrillo a honorary captain and member of the school’s varsity football team during the September 28 game, thus fulfilling one of the items on the boy’s wish list.

Game night events included a pre-game car and motorcycle show and a flash mob of more than 100 people that took to the field at halftime singing and dancing to inspirational songs. The evening’s

and his brother Dylan, who plays on the team.

“The game was not only dedicated to Doryan, but to every child battling cancer,” said El Monte High School football coach Joel Sanchez.

“The entire experience over the course of the month has been positive for our students who have become close to Doryan.”

According to principal Keith Richardson, Doryan’s family, along with Sanchez, worked together to make the event happen.

“Last year the entire junior varsity football team wore

Birthday to him,” said Richardson.

To bring attention to pediatric cancer, all school service clubs participated in fundraising activities for the cause, students wore yellow wrist bands and cancer awareness buttons during the month as a show of support and the Red Cross held a blood drive on campus.

According to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, each year in the United States approximately 13,000 children from birth through 19 years of age are diagnosed with cancer.

Two Movies, Middle East History

By Sean Telles Last week, awarding-winning movie “Lawrence of Arabia” celebrated its 50th anniversary by releasing a digitally remastered version of the film to theaters followed by a Blu-ray DVD. This week, after much film festival acclaim, Ben Affleck’s Iran-hostage-based pic “Argo” was released. Both movies offer insight into the history of Western involvement in the Middle East, as well as context for our current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Lawrence of Arabia” is often hailed as one of the greatest movies of all time – and not just by dusty old film professors. Both Scorsese and Spielberg cite this movie is a reason they make movies. In addition, more current movies – like Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus” – make reference to it. The man the movie is based on is equally influential.

Winston Churchill called T. E. Lawrence "one of the greatest beings of our time. Whatever our need, we shall never see his like again.”

The movie takes place during WWI, in what is now Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. As a British solider, Lawrence travels and battles the Ottoman Empire. No one seems to understand his motives as his allegiance leans towards uniting highly divided Arab interests. Through its lengthy 4 hours and 20 minutes, this movie shows, in 70mm film, the context and influence of British colonialism in the Middle East. The combination of highly divided regional sects of people and culturally indiscriminate border mapping by an outside government continues to plague countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, where infrastructure rebuilding efforts have been undone at times due to warring groups of people within the same country.

Ben Affleck’s “Argo” takes places in 1979 at a time of heightened tensions between the Unites States and Iran.

The movie begins with an introduction of Iranian history, including West- Cont. Page 3

Cantwell-Sacred Heart Students Begin School Year With iPad Technology

By Anne Donofrio-Holter El Monte, CA -- Beginning this fall, all Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary High School (Montebello) freshmen and sophomores began using iPads instead of traditional textbooks.

“I am so excited that we are the first Catholic high school in the San Gabriel Valley to implement this technology in our school curriculum,” said Principal David Chambers.

“We have made the school’s infrastructure capable of handling the highest capacity of internet use that our students require and the entire campus has Wi-Fi capability equipped to handle the entire student body, along with faculty and staff, with their needs in using the iPads.”

According to Edgar Salmingo, Jr., Director of Educational Technology, the implementation of the iPads has allowed for more flexibility in lesson planning.

“I have adopted the model of "flipping the classroom," where students watch my video lectures for homework and during class we spend more time doing collaborative activities, interactive labs and engaging review games, the types of instruction that teachers and students both love,” he said. “Students have more time and options available to them to create media and demonstrate mastery. For example, my students created their own instructional videos covering advanced placement biology and calculus standards. All in all, it has made the learning process more fun for all involved.”

“Having the iPad makes everything easier, including homework,” said Brenda Rodriguez, 17. “Everything is online on one website and there is no fear of losing your papers. I feel like I am participating more since I have the examples right in front of me rather than on a wall 20 feet away.”

“The iPad takes away the shyness of raising your hand and embarrassing yourself in front of everyone. We have opportunities to share questions in class and have discussions online,” said Michael Freire, 17. “I am definitely learning more as I am able to watch video lectures at home and view PowerPoint presentations portably in class. It's also reassuring not having to worry about forgetting a book or notes.”

“They know they are being held accountable and that

their work is likely to be shown in class,” said Salmingo. “For example, to verify students have watched their homework video, they answer follow-up questions on the video and have the opportunity to ask their own questions if they do not understand

something. The following day, I display all their responses on the projector to clear up any misunderstandings.

While initially some students missed the feel and read of a traditional textbook, Cont. Page 9

I read your article on the need for a veteran’s hospital in the SGV, (October 17 issue) and I couldn’t agree more.¬¬ I know what it’s like to try and make my appointments at Long Beach, & West Los Angeles. My concern is for the veterans that simply can’t get to these hospitals from the SGV. I’ve seen our young men with titanium legs, knowing they’ll need therapy physically and mentally for years to come. There are many veterans throughout the SGV who need or will need medical attention, but won’t get it because the hospital is simply too far away. We are too great of a country to let this go on.

If you’re a politician reading this, I am asking for your support in showing some interest. I’ve spoken to some of veteran’s buddies, and the way they see it, “We did something for you, now do something for us."

FREDDIE MAC’S TOWING

2740 Bruin Ave., South El Monte (626) 443-4141 Proudly Providing Continuous Towing Service to El Monte for 56 years!

October 24, 2012 beginnings long, long ago.

They came from the beliefs of the druids, priests of ancient Gaul and Britain. The druids believed that witches, demons and spirits of the dead roamed the earth on the eve of November 1. Bonfires were lit to drive the bad spirits away.

To protect themselves further from the mean tricks of the bad spirits, the druids offered them good things to eat. They also disguised themselves so that the spirits would think the druids belonged to their own evil group. Surely the spirits would not harm members of their own group! Or so the druids thought. Thus we celebrate Halloween by playing “trick or treat”, dressing up in costumes and wearing masks.

The autumn leaves, cornstalks, apples, pumpkins and nuts that are so much a part of the Halloween season are reminders of the druids Autumn Festival, in honor of the harvest.

Much later the Roman Catholic Church set aside the first day of November to honor all the saints who had no special day of their own. Saints were known as the hallowed, or holy, ones.

Their special day was known as All Saints, or All Hallows, Day. The night before was called ‘All Hallows Eve’. All Hallows Eve was shortened to Halloween.

Part of the fun of Halloween is in the preparing for it.

One of the traditional decorations of this season is the jack-o-lantern. The children in Britain and many other countries make their jack-olanterns from turnips, but the pumpkin is traditional in the United States and Canada. An older child or an adult will need to carve out the top and face of the jack-o-lantern, but children of all ages can help design the face and scoop out the seeds and pulp inside the pumpkin. After the seeds are washed and air-dried, they can be used to make seed pictures or they can be made into a tasty snack by coating them with cooking oil and roasting them in a 350 degree oven for about an hour. Just add salt and they will be ready to enjoy. Your jack-o-lantern can be lighted from the inside with a candle or a small flashlight. Great caution must be taken around jack-o-lanterns with candles in them, and they must be kept where they won’t fall over and out of the reach of small children.

Before you go out ‘Trick or Treating’, whether you are accompanied by an adult or old enough to go out with just your friends, it is a good thing to remember some

safety tips such as being very careful when crossing streets as it is probably going to be dark and many costumes and masks make it hard to see. It is good to carry a flashlight (or a glow in the dark bracelet) so that drivers are able to see you. Because trick or treating is usually done at the houses of people you do not know, make sure that no candy is eaten until you are home and your parents have inspected all the ‘treats’. It is a very sad fact that harmful substances and objects have been found in the treats given out. Because of this, many have decided to give out small prizes such as pencils, rings or stickers rather then something edible.

Whatever your choice, a party inside or trick or treat this weekend, on Wednesday or next weekend. Enjoy, be safe and have lots of fun!

Soroptimist International of El Monte/South El Monte will hold their Bunco Octoberfest on Friday, October 26 from 5:00pm until 9:00 pm at the Dean L. Shively School Cafetorium, 1431 N. Central Avenue, South El Monte, California (cross st is Santa Anita) A small donation of $10.00 includes a dinner of German sausage, hot dogs, potato salad, fruit, dessert, drink, bunco game prizes and lots of fun.

TOWN TWEETS

By Joe Castillo Giant Connection….. I may be a Dodger fan at heart but there’s a part of me pulling for their rival from California, the San Francisco Giants. It’s not only because these Giants have had so much go wrong with them that they deserve to win but it’s because they’re a California team, who represent the West Coast. It’s also because former San Gabriel High School standout and city resident Mike Krukow is a Giant announcer, and has been for a number of years. After pitching for the San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs, Krukow moved into the radio booth and has been doing the playby-play ever since. . . .November Elections… I guess I may be old-fashioned, but one thing that really irks me is the endorsement of candidates in this years’ election. I’m reading an endorsement flyer for Dr. Mathew Lin for Assembly and note that the Mayor and three of the four councilmembers of Rosemead endorsed Dr. Lin. In San Gabriel, the Mayor and all councilmembers endorsed Dr. Lin. In addition, School Board members, Planning Commissioners and even Traffic Commissioners are all included on the endorsement list. My problem is that each of the persons doing the endorsements were elected to non-partisan positions, and in some situations were appointed to volunteer positions. I don’t mind that these folks are endorsing Dr. Lin, that’s their right, but to use their non-partisan position and title for the endorsement is just wrong. Why not use their own name without their elected or appointed title?

They can support any candidate of their choice as an individual but when they support a Democratic or Republican candidate as a non-partisan elected official, then I think they’ve brought partisanship into their own elected or appointed position. The question becomes whether the elected non-partisan officials are doing what’s best for the city they were elected to govern or are following the platform of a political party. It just makes you wonder where they stand on issues ….. Pothole Report 2012-07 – I’m taking a break from criticizing the City of San Gabriel, and instead have a critique of the City of Rosemead. Mission Road, going east from the San Gabriel-Rosemead border to Rosemead Boulevard was recently re-asphalted, re-sealed and re-stripped. The section of Mission Road wasn’t as near as bad as the San Gabriel section but the city took the lead and fixed it before the street got worse. Great job, Rosemead! Rating: (5) No work needed. San Gabriel take note…. Get Ready ….

The San Gabriel Turkey Trot Race is scheduled for November 3 at the new and improved Vincent Lugo Park. The race includes a 5K/10K run, a 5K walk and a 1K Kid Fun Run. Call San Gabriel Parks and Recreation at 626-308-2875 for registration information.

The race starts at 7:15AM and refreshment, awards, tshirts and raffles are included.

I’m probably dating myself but they used to give those orange-yellow paint hats with ‘Turkey Trot’ printed on them.

I’m sure they’re collector items now…

Letter written by Abraham Lincoln to General Grant

General C.D. Anderson Mourning Ribbon

A dream deferred for an Alhambra Chinese youth (Article from The Alhambra Source) My father, mother, and brother stare down at their rice bowls, and the dinner table falls silent except for the click of chopsticks on porcelain.* How is it possible, at the age of 17, I could not have known? I’d been watching news stories about illegal immigrants for years. But the debate was always about the Mexican-American border, never about other countries.

I left Hong Kong when I was 4 years old, so I don’t understand everything my parents say in Cantonese, and they don’t understand everything that I say in English. My older brother facilitates any complex conversations. So when I tell my father I need my Social Security number to apply for financial aid, it’s my brother who must explain to me that I don’t have one: We are not legal immigrants.

Later that night, I’m on Facebook and my newsfeed is packed with friends complaining about applying for Cal Grants. I realize without a Social Security number, I can’t even apply for public financial aid. Without that assistance, I won’t be able to afford college. And a bizarre new reality begins to hit.

My family history that led to this situation emerges

without warning one evening as I sit next to my father in the car. He tells me he worked since he was 16 and saved up enough money to move our family to America. But once here, unscrupulous legal advisors promised a Green Card but instead scammed him out of his hard-earned money. We were left with basically nothing, and we were ineligible to become U.S. citizens.

He tells me that my immigration status is sensitive information, and that I should not tell anybody. I follow his advice at first. I am scared friends will judge me, and I don’t even tell my girlfriend of two-and-a-half years.

Many things start to make more sense, but I feel so much more confused. I understand why my parents have driver’s licenses from other states, and why they told me to wait to get my own. Why my parents always pushed us to have good grades, so we could receive a “ride” from any college that would take us. And why my brother ended up at community college, rather than a four-year school. Why we avoid airplanes, and why we have never, in 14 years, visited the rest of our family in China or Hong Kong.

Poetry has been the outlet I use to express what’s bottled up inside me, and one after-

noon, exhausted from spending the night before surfing the Internet with no destination, the words start to flow.

That evening, at an Alhambra Moors Poetry Slam, I share my secret when I present my poem "Bilingual / Shuang Yue".

They don't understand that it hurts me much more than it hurts them to give them anything less than a 1-2-3-4.0.

And I know it's a stereotype, that Asian parents see Bs as Fs. But the truth behind the implications is that my mother and father gave up every little thing they have just so that I could live the "American Dream" As people fill out FAFSA and Cal Grants, I'm left with my hands and wallet empty, thumbs twiddling just to pass the time because my immigration status is far from legal.

Tell me. When did the land of the free become the land in which it's illegal to live?

I feel the eyes of a Latino parent connect with mine.

After the slam, she congratulates me on my performance, and tells me how much she connected with my work. I feel the weight lift a bit, and more comfortable sharing the truth. Still, none of the other students from my poetry club ask me about my status. And I don’t talk about Cont. Page 6

Handsome Leo needs a Home Leo is a very handsome dark grey and white cat. He was found wandering the streets of Pasadena in poor shape. Leo had a horrible case of flea dermatitis and was very thin.

it either.

When my college acceptance to my dream school arrives, it is not a happy day.

I feel alone, stranded in a cluttered space of celebrating friends and worried faces. I avoid telling my parents, but when I finally do, tears fill my mother’s eyes. “When we came to America all we wanted for you was an education,” she says. “That’s all we wanted all our lives as parents.”

She apologizes to me for not being able to provide me with an education, which I feel is ridiculous. I tell her I would still go to a community college, and it’s not like all hope was lost.

I had never heard of the Dream Act, federal legislation that had been pending for more than a decade to provide legal status to young people like me. Congress failed to act, but just two days after I graduate, President Obama announces a new program that would prevent my deportation and allow me to work legally. My father e-mails me the news. Later, when I come home from a night out with friends, my usually reserved father greets me with eyes glowing with joy like I’d never seen before. “It’s here.

Our struggles are over,” he tells me. “We’ve finally made it in America.”

The day before the new rule is set to go into effect, I enter the Asian Pacific American Legal Center with my brother and mother by my side. I expect to see other Chinese people, but instead, they’re ethnic from all sorts of backgrounds. In the crowded room, I feel alone, again. I’ve never talked to anyone else about my status, not even my brother. I look at the nurse in scrubs across the room.

Could it be possible that she has a job at a hospital without a Social Security number?

Without citizenship, without an identity?

I realize I’m actually extremely lucky. Law has never seemed so beautiful to me: something that had always felt like rules that constrained could change the lives of actual people. As I begin to speak to my lawyer, I look into his eyes, and I see an Asian man who is working in a law firm in Los Angeles. I do not know who he is or how he got here, or what it’s been like for him. But what I do know is that he’s helping me get to where he is: A working Asian American in the United States of America.

The author requested his identity not be revealed due to the fact that his immigration status remains in limbo.

Lions Enjoy The View... For Dinner FANVIEW

By Joe Torosian

“I’m loving it Joe! I’m loving it!” --- SEM LB Joe Morales versus Rosemead in 2005 Oh, I have always been a fan of Alhambra's Jesse Campos!

Note to Athletic Directors: Check the cheerleaders playlists.

Salt in Wound: Not to rub salt in the wound but San Marino's 58-point bomb on Temple City Friday night was the most ever scored against the Rams in a game.

Next Add Alhambra: When I think of the Moors over the course of the last year, it's been like they've been dropped in a blender. But instead of being cut up and coming to pieces, they keep getting stronger. A tip of the cap to this team, if indeed I were wearing one.

USC should put a little pressure on the PAC 12 Network to cut a deal with Direct TV...I'm not leaving Direct, and the only ones being hurt by this are the Trojans.

For Arroyo its just about la fiesta acabado...

Congrats to John Tuttle and the Glendale Nitros for hanging tough this season. Tuttle, formerly known as Gypsy John Tuttle for his many coaching stops, which include Temple City, Monrovia, and Duarte, is turning the Glendale program around.

With a little help from former TC assistants Art Carrington, Marty Valadez and Tim Loya.

When San Gabriel Tribune writer John Sherrard told me he felt an upset in his bones Saturday night, (That APU was going to beat conference opponent Central Washington) I told him it was the Chipolte being served in the press box.

Turned out it was a good feeling as APU won it’s first game of the season 24-17 over CW. As long as they come to play Monrovia should beat San Marino this week. If they show up sleepwalking, they’ll have to wait until the fourth quarter to pull it out.

It is always odd to see Rosemead and Arroyo facing off for third place in the MVL. The Panther run the risk of missing the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The Knights run the risk of missing the playoffs for the first time since 1983.

If Arcadia can find a way to hammer with Sheldon McKinley and Jake Medel, and keep the Muir offense off the field, they may have a chance to get a piece of the Pacific League title.

If they try to run with them?

Adios muchachos...

Last Note on 1983: I saw Peterson dance that year...I got a job at Albertsons...I had to hear way too much “Thriller”...and Rosemead beat Arroyo 35-14.

Still digging fantasy football... and no, I didn’t auto-draft.

What do you call: Mt. View, Baldwin Park, Bosco Tech, Workman, Ganesha, La Canada?

El Monte, CA - Mt. View did what only two other teams have this season against El Monte. No, they didn’t beat them but they joined Covina and Arroyo as the only teams in 2012 to keep the Lions offense under 40-points.

If this was the hiccup El Monte needed have before moving ahead with the rest of its business, then they survived it pretty well with a 38-20 victory over the visiting

five behind the school record of 17 set by Ray McNeil in 1979.

The Lions also got another solid game from junior Angel Gonzalez, who has stepped in for the banged up Bryan Luevano the last two weeks and provided more than a solid effort. Friday night he accounted for 150 yards rushing.

Mt. View was its own worst enemy turning the ball over

Gabrielino Stays Alive, Beats Mead

By Jerry BonDurant Rosemead, CA - The tides of war change fast. As quick as you can seemingly fall out of a race, a moment later you are right back in it.

Gabrielino was beaten down last week by South El Monte, but the Eagles were able on Friday night to find a way

3-yard run with 3:38 left in the game. The touchdown capped a length of the field 94-yard drive.

With score tied and the loser facing a 1-2 record in Mission Valley League play, Gabrielino responded.

In most critical moments of the season Peters connected

With two more touchdowns on Friday night, Arroyo's Peter Aholoka has now scored 12 on the season, 11 on the ground

There’s “good time”, “prime time”, “happy time”, and “LIONS TIME!

Vikings.

Brandon Martinez accounted for five touchdowns, two through the air and three on the ground. The touchdown passes give him 30 on the season.

Abel Barajas caught eight passes for 122 yards, one going a for a score. The touchdown reception advanced his season total to 12, leaving him

several times and short circuiting a fine effort by its ground game.

EM’s Ruben Jimenez registered 14 tackles and Arturo Sartiaguin added a pair of sacks.

El Monte is now 6-2, 3-0 in league. The loss is the Vikings fourth in a row leaving them at 3-5 and 0-3 in the Mission Valley League.

South Continues to Rise

By Carson E. Powers South El Monte, CA - South El Monte kept the significance of its Week Ten date with El Monte alive on Friday night, by beating Arroyo 13-7 at “The Swamp”.

The Eagles got on the board at 9:10 mark of the first quarter after converting a bad snap/ fumble by the Knights in a 9-yard scoring run by quarterback Levi Wells.

The Southmen were able to build on the advantage midway through the third quarter when Eric Garcia scored on a 3-yard run. The two point conversion failed. The touchdown was set up by Mario Burciaga’s 48-yard run deep into Arroyo territory.

Three minutes later the Knights crawled back into striking distance when Peter Aholoka scored on a 5-yard run. Adrian Hernandez added the extra point and it was 13-7 in favor of the Eagles.

Quarterback Levi Wells helps to make South a very dangerous team.

There was no scoring in the fourth quarter.

The victory improved South El Monte to 2-1 in the Mission Valley League, 4-4 overall. Arroyo is now 1-2 in the MVL, and 4-4 overall.

back into Mission Valley League discussion with a 13-7 over the Rosemead Panthers at Marinelli Stadium.

Eagles quarterback Elijah Peters scored on a 10-yard run with 9:36 to play in the first half of very physical defensive struggle.

The lead would hold till late in the fourth quarter when Rosemead quarterback Everardo Camacho scored on a

several times with Jeremy Franco and Mark Winchell to move the ball down to the Panthers one. From there, Bryan Vargas scored with 39 seconds to give the Eagles the win.

Gabrielino improved 7-1 on the season and 2-1 in MVL, while Rosemead dropped to 3-5 and 1-2 in league.

La Puente Wins aThriller

By Big George Hernandez La Puente, CA - Warriors quarterback Ivan Vasquez hits Jose Ochoa for the game winning score as time expires in La Puente’s 21-20 win at McIntosh Field Friday night.

With 1.4 seconds on the clock, Vasquez went back to pass from the Falcons eight.

Surveying the field he spotted in the front left corner, of the west end zone, Ochoa and released the ball before defensive pressure arrived.

“I just told everyone stay calm and to do their assignments and just believe and we’ll win this game,” said Vasquez.

Duarte quarterback Denzel Talifero led a Falcons opening drive and finished it off with a 40-yard touchdown pass to Grant Goldsmith for a 6-0 lead after La Puente blocked the extra point.

Warriors hit them right back in the mouth when back-up quarterback Bryan Landeros found Tizoc Monarrez in the corner of the end zone from 21-yards to make it 7-6.

Midway through the second

quarter Goldsmith found the end zone again when he took a 63-yard pass from Talifero to paydirt to make it 14-6 after Dyran Adams took in the two point conversion.

La Puente still going punch for punch handed the ball off to Joey Centeno and he slipped by the Duarte defense for a 71-yard touchdown run tying it up at 14-14.

Falcons found the end zone again late in the third quarter when Marcus Lewis pounded through the La Puente defense for a 49-yard touchdown run giving Duarte a 20-14 lead after a failed two point conversion.

Both teams exchanged fumbles and three and outs until 1:57 left in the game when Vazquez got his groove back after going zero for his previous seven passes and went 5 for 5 for 62-yards on the final game’s drive. Following the tying score to Ochoa, it was Henry Rodriguez connecting on the extra point provide the winning margin.

Rams Put on Blast by Titans

By Joe Torosian Temple City, CA - This one had the feel of a pay per view title fight. Everyone arrives, everyone is excited, but before the popcorn is done being popped its over. This one was over just as fast as San Marino’s Ryan Wood scored five touchdowns in the Titans 58-0 win over Temple City on

Wofford and friends.

With 11:52 to go in the second quarter, fullback Nick Gott went 42-yards to paydirt on a third down and one through the middle of the defense. …And before you could say Loren Kleinrock it was 14-0 Titans.

Getting the ball back after Temple City’s next punt Wof-

Football is a rough game, and often a cruel one, ask Temple City after last Friday night.

Friday night at North Field.

The Rams highlight was its opening drive. A fourth down conversion and a pair of first downs before punting. Thank you for participating we have some lovely parting gifts for you.

San Marino’s first drive took a little over three minutes to go 85-yards before Matt Wofford crashed in on a sneak from a yard out to put his team on top. No other scoring drive would take as long for

ford went 19-yards to Andrew Cordova and then 18-yards to Gott on a short pass. With the ball at the Rams 17, Wofford went the distance on the next place for the touchdown. …And before you could say Stevie Yortsos it was 21-0 Titans.

Temple City went three and out on its next possession, San Marino took over at its own 45. A couple of short runs was followed by a 14-yard connection from Wofford

to Cordova. On first down and ten from the TC 27 the evenings curtain went up for Ryan Wood. The senior running back scored his first of five touchdowns by going largely untouched through the Rams defense. …And before you could say Kwame Do it was 28-0.

Temple City was forced to punt on its first four possessions of the game. To this point it wasn’t as much a case of the Rams playing poorly as it was San Marino dominating the line of scrimmage. Blowing up the TC offensive line and destroying it defensive line and second level tacklers.

That was before the wheels officially came off.

Starting at its own 20, after Wood’s first score, Nick Starling was stripped fighting for yardage and San Marino’s Justin Hill recovered. Wood covered the remaining 9-yards on the next play. …And before you could say Mark Ukropina it was 35-0 Titans.

Next TC possession, a fumble on the first snap, San Marino’s Kieran Ryan falls on the football at the Rams 22. One play later Wood goes 22-yards to the house. …And before you could say Bill Maloney it was 42-0 at halftime.

The Peterson Principle By Tim Peterson Associate Editor I don't know why things turn out they way they do. If nothing else it just goes to show you that the more you think you know, the less you know.

Nothing is certain. Nothing is etched in stone. You think you have somebody figured out, and the exact opposite happens. But that's what makes high school football great.

We received a comment on our boards this week that said “Stop predicting games. You're just not very good at it.” He (or she) was upset that we picked against their team and their team won but the funny thing is all we heard were crickets when we picked for their team the week before and they did indeed drop the ball. That being said whoever wrote the comment might be right.

Nobody is good at picking high school football games – especially when you talk about actual scores. Take a look at this week's games. Montebello was coming off a 48-41 overtime victory over San Gabriel. The Oilers lost 57-48 to El Rancho and 40-26 to California. They hadn't come close to being shut out all year. Bell Gardens beat Torrance 36-33, and Warren 3721. They fell to El Rancho 52-28 and El Monte 46-41. Everybody we spoke to thought the scoreboard operator would have his work cut out. There were going to be a lot of points put up. I had Bell Gardens winning 34-31.

So what happens? It's a defensive struggle throughout with BG making a first quarter touchdown stand up in a 7-0 win. Montebello stopped the Lancers on a fourth and goal at the one inch line. Bell Gardens halted the Oilers at the nine yard line on fourth down with under a minute left to secure the win.

“Who said we couldn't play defense?” Bell Gardens Coach David Ramos screamed at his team after the game. “That's the best defensive effort I've seen all year!”

It wasn't just me who was stunned by the sudden defensive prowess of the Almont foes but Ramos was as well.

“If you would have told me in the middle of the week that one touchdown would be enough to win this game I would have said no way,” Ramos said.

Raise your hand if you predicted San Marino would beat Temple City 58-0. Many people, on our site and others, thought Temple City could win this game. San Marino's schedule was soft they said and Temple City was riding the momentum of a four game winning streak. Heck if the Rams could pound the ball, chew up the clock and keep the Titans off the field, they had a good shot. I didn't totally buy into it. I had the Titans winning 31-20, but I never imagined a 58 point thrashing and in a moment of truth you know you didn't either.

Isn't this the one year that we knew Gladstone would beat Azusa? I mean if there was ever a slam dunk this was it. G-Stone had already brushed aside Montview League foes Duarte and La Puente by 16 and 30 points respectively. Azusa lost to Duarte 40-14 so there was no way the Falcons were staying with undefeated G-Stone. So yeah, of course. Azusa beats the Gladiators 27-17.

How did Rowland beat Diamond Ranch to improve to 7-2 on the year and 4-1 in the Hacienda?

Anybody have the Raiders on your radar in the summer?

How does West Covina lose to Los Altos earlier this year especially when Los Altos was coming off a 40-3 loss to Diamond Bar? What's up with Bellflower? The Bucs beat Norwalk one week and lose to Artesia (2-6) the next.

Really?

Look, maybe we're not very good at predictions but nobody else is either. It's unpredictable. But we'll keep posting our prognostications every week because that's what makes it fun. Besides, If you count just wins and losses, I was 12-2 last week.

That's my principle.

most understand now that the textbook is no longer the sole authority for information.

“They can go to Google, Wikipedia, find related web apps or watch YouTube videos on the content gone over in class to enhance their learning rather than relying on just a textbook,” said Salmingo.

“It also helps that the iPad is much lighter than carrying traditional textbooks around”.

While each student is responsible for the purchase of his or her iPad, the cost effectiveness of eBooks, in some cases, can be up to 30% less than traditional textbooks.

“In doing so, students can use their iPads to take exams and get their scores instantly, thus enhancing the learning process through immediate feedback,” he said. “Not only is the computer able to grade the exams but the exam questions can be randomized. This insures that each student takes a different exam making cheating more difficult. In regards to essays, the school subscribes to a service that scans student essays for plagiarism.”

“The iPad gives our teachers the ability to monitor how each individual student is doing on a quiz, while they are taking the quiz,” said Chambers. “Through the use of certain apps, everyone has a chance to participate and have their voice heard,” he said.

“Normally in the classroom, time doesn't permit everyone to participate and only the "loud" or "smart" students are heard. iPad technology and individual access to the web fixes that problem.”

“I feel like I am participating more because we have to make our own videos and blog posts online,” said Gonzales.

“The iPad is amazing,” said David Solorzano, 16. “It's like texting, but for doing homework. It makes learning fun and adjusting to it was very easy. And, you don't have to carry heavy books around in your backpack.”

The Titans were forced to punt on their first possession in the second half and Temple City punted it right back to them. Starting at its own 45, San Marino used a 9-yard run by Gott to cross midfield.

One play later a personal foul against the Rams moved the ball closer to the goal line and three plays after that Wood carried the ball 19-yards, largely untouched, across the goal line for his fourth score of the night. …And before you could say Jonathan Saul it was 49-0 Titans.

Temple City’s next possession ended with an intentional grounding taking place in the end zone. Lead official Steve Brink tossed the flag, gave the

signal and it two more points for San Marino plus possession.

Following the Rams free kick the Titans offense took over at its own 38. Wood had taken over the game some time before, but in case anyone had been late to the party he gave them a taste of how the evening had gone for the home team by going 62-yards, again largely untouched, to end zone. …And before you could say San Marino-Monrovia next week for the Rio Hondo League title, it was 58-0 Titans.

To go with the five scores, Wood finished with 176 yards rushing on 16 carries.

The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $368,952.41. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Office. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction 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 bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible 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 property 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 lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, 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 applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0059515.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ROSARIO ANDRADE AND PATRICIA MONGE, in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that PATRICIA MONGE, be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independ-ent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal repre-sentative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be re-quired to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or con-sented to the proposed action.) The inde-pendent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on November 9, 2012 at 8:30 AM in Dept. A located at 300 E. Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91101.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

ARIES Things are getting weird at home, but you can still handle it all if you're brave.

TAURUS You need to tell someone about what you're feeling, even if it's a deep, dark secret. There must be someone you can trust.

You may not feel totally comfortable, but that just means you're on the right path!

SCORPIO You are feeling even more attractive than usual -- and you're right! You can easily attract a new mate or a new gig.

SAGITTARIUS Your moods are deep even on a good day. Don't panic -- just watch and learn. You should return much wiser for the experience!

AQUARIUS Try not to get embarrassed when you reveal the truth, because it's sure to work out better for you in the long run.

Tender Greens serves organic salads, sandwiches, hot plates and pastries in Pasadena. All of their food and drinks are served in a glass cup, plates with silverware in efforts to eliminate waste.

Portions at TG are very big. The average price of a salad is around $10, but the

helping you out. Really good service!

I ordered the Herb Brushed Albacore with baby Arugula salad. FYI, the Albacore is seared on the outside and raw in the side for those that don’t know.

TG also has daily specials for those who want to try some-

ingredients are organic and the portions are huge! First you order at the first cashier, walk through the line, decide on drinks and dessert, pick up your food and pay at the other end. If you eat in, there is a waiter that is very prompt in clearing your plates and

thing different. I went with the lamb penne pasta. The mint lemonade is the drink that everyone seems to get here. The mint is crushed up and scattered in the lemonade.

If you enjoy mojitos, then this could be the drink for you. I also tasted my Aunt’s agua fresca, which is watermelon flavored.

Our total came out to about $29, but I took the leftovers home and was able to feed myself for lunch and dinner the next day. They have free one-hour validation in their private parking structure in the back so no need to worry about street parking!

Cont. from Page 3: Cesar Chavez Monument

be part of this journey. Si se puede!” Velasco and Gomez were two of the 7,000 people present at the event, and they say 3,000 more were turned away due to capacity overflow.

Cesar Chavez played a key role in achieving protections for thousands of farm workers around the country – from establishing minimum wages and health care access to ensuring them drinking water while working the fields and a reduced exposure to dangerous pesticides. “Cesar cared,” said President Obama as he dedicated the monument.

“And in his own peaceful, eloquent way, he made other people care, too. A march that started in Delano with a handful of activists – that march ended 300 miles away in Sacramento with a crowd

10,000 strong. A boycott of table grapes that began in California eventually drew 17 million supporters across the country, forcing growers to agree to some of the first farm worker contracts in history.

Where there had once been despair, Cesar gave workers a reason to hope.”

Community activists, including one who President Obama introduced as “the great Dolores Huerta,” attended the dedication of the monument. Present also was Chavez’ widow, Helen, who still lives at the location and who, arm to arm with the President, placed a rose at Chavez’ gravesite before the ceremony.

The monument is now open to the public, and is located at 29700 Woodford Tehachapi Road, Keene, CA 93531.
