Sierra Madre resident arrested for possession of child pornography
BY SHEL SEGAL Parishioners from the San Gabriel Mission attended the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday to ask for more money for public healthcare. Father Bruce Wellems of the mission said despite the federal act that gives access to healthcare for everyone, some still can’t get it. “This was an action to ask for more money for the residually uninsured, that covers undocumented workers and others who don’t have access to healthcare,” Wellems said. He added while the county of Los Angeles gives funds to covers those people, there still are some problems. “We commended the supervisors for already giving $55 million,” Wellems said.

The Arcadia American Little League Minors Dodgers played more than their share of close games but none more exciting than Monday's 10-9 victory over the Cubs at a packed Windsor Field. The win gave the Dodgers a two-game sweep of the AALL Championship Tournament to go with their regular season crown. Monday, the Dodgers blew 5-2 and 8-7 leads against the determined Cubs, whom they had routed 14-1 in the first round. The Cubs scored a pair of unearned runs with
two out in the top of the sixth to take a 9-8 lead. However, that lead was very short-lived as the Dodgers scored two runs in the bottom of the inning on on a wild pitch and error for a walkoff win to truly remember. Nolan Anthony was the winning pitcher in relief, allowing no earned runs in three innings and three hits while striking out four. He helped his own cause with four RBI, including a booming inside-the-park three-run home run. Guy Gruppie, Jr. had long three-run triple
and Actavius Dunston three hits for the Dodgers. Steven Chen had three hits for the Cubs. In the Dodger tournament opener, E. J. Davis struck 11 as the Dodgers overwhelmed the Cubs, 14-1, in four innings. Gruppie had a key two-run double in the first inning, and Brian Lu added a key two run double. While the Dodgers had two players in Anthony and Gruppie hit nearly .700, exceed 30 hits and drive in almost 20, the Dodgers' pitching trio of Anthony, Gruppie and
Davis was the strength of the game. Gruppie won five games including a complete game, 12-strikeout shutout of the Arcadia National Yankees and a 14-strikeout performance against the Sierra Madre Cubs. He saved a key victory for Anthony against a strong Santa Amita Red Sox team as well. Anthony was the starter of that signature game. Davis beat the Cubs late in the regular season then did it again in the tournament.
