Politics : Drop by Drop Anthony Fellow, a Cal State Fullerton professor, is vice president of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District.

It was billed as a “Godzilla El Niño,” but it hit Southern California like a whimper. And only two weeks exist in the state’s annual rainy season.

Northern California felt the brunt of the “killer” storm, which drenched the area, filling some very shallow reservoirs, such as Shasta. Good news? But….

Despite the rising reservoirs up north, the prospect of funneling it to a thirsty Southern California is prohibitive.

“While above average rain and snowfall in March helped fill reservoirs in Northern California, there is a very limited ability to pump that water to Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley where it is desperately needed to replenish severely depleted

groundwater basins and to grow fruits and vegetables,” Shane Chapman, general manager of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District, says.

Thus, SoCal may be adding another year to one of the most severe droughts in California history.

Here, the only reliable supply is our groundwater basins, which provide about 35 percent o all water in Southern California. But the well is running low as groundwater levels have fallen to all-time record lows and continue to drop.

According to Chapman, the San Gabriel Valley, compared to typical annual rainfall, is lacking more than 48 inches of rain. “It would likely take a decade of above average rainfall to bring the Southern Califor-

Webb'S Rules SMOKING

by Eugene R. Webb

Let me tell you that this is no joke; That any turkey can smoke.

But it’s a bad habit that’s hard to break; Yet, it’s very important for your own sake.

I started smoking with just a little fuss; Then I was smoking because I must.

Oh, I tried to stop smoking so many times; And smoking was always on my mind.

Common sense tells us smoking is really bad; And I so often wished I never ever had.

But I found it was almost impossible to quit; Yet I would cough, hack and even spit.

Seventh Day Adventist had a free workshop; For people who smoked and wanted to stop.

It happened back in Dec. Nineteen Seventy Four; I remember puffing right up to the door.

After that, smoking never ever entered my mind; “Quit coffee and cigarettes at the same time.”

They went together for me, I did what I was told; Happy, for in January I’ll be eighty-five years old.

nia spreading grounds back to normal,” he says.

So it’s back to the books, back to making conservation and such things as drought resistant landscaping the norm, the requirement. It’s no longer an option. “The only thing saving us is the conservation efforts by the people,” Tony Zampiello, chairman of the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster, says.

It’s going to be a long dry summer!

Arroyo Mascot Dubbed “Knighty Almighty”

by Jessie Liew, Knights Banner El Monte

There is no doubt that many students have at least once wondered how Arroyo suddenly had their very own physical mascot. It turns out that it was the senior gift from last year’s graduating class of 2015, who had left money for Arroyo to purchase our very own mascot costume.

Although it would appear to have been quite simple, it did take some brainstorming and thought process put into it. Initially, the mascot was not identified as to how it would appear or how it was supposed to look. So, in the summer before this school year, the thought process began, and after much brainstorming, a mascot was found that fit the needs of the school.

All that was left was the naming of the mascot.

Mr. Oscar Gomez, Assistant Principal of Activities, had sent out Arroyo High School junior Jessie Liew, a reporter a Google for the Knights Banner campus newspaper, gets chummy with the school’s newly-acquired mascot, sheet for students to Knighty Almighty, portrayed by senior Kevin Vong, who had never worn the outfit before. participate

in the naming of the knight.

“We had some good responses, we had over 200 kids who gave their input on the name, and out of all those names, we came up with Knighty Almighty,” stated Mr. Gomez.

In past years, Arroyo had real horses along with the mascot. However, as the years had gone by, changes in the community had also lead for the old tradition to fade away.

“Eventually, we still want to include that (having a horse and Knight Rider), particularly for events like Homecoming or Renaissance,” Mr. Gomez continued. “We still don’t have a permanent actual mascot, that somebody will fill those shoes for, for the whole year, so that’s our next steps,” Finally, Mr. Gomez concluded, “Our big goal is to improve school spirit, but really to recognize that this was a class gift, that the students take ownership of the Knight by naming him.”

Biz Club Cultivates South El Monte Leaders

by Erik Derr

Business means family ties to South El Monte High School senior Danny Tan. Four years ago, he followed his two older sisters into the nonprofit Future Business Leaders of America and two years ago his sophomore brother likewise followed him into the group.

An aspiring electric vehicle designer, Tan says he’s found strong support through the student-oriented career and technical organization’s high school campus chapter.

“They really take you in, they teach you the ropes,” said Tan, who plans to one day create green rides like those of Tesla Motors only better. The business club, he said, is “really like a second family.”

Tan was one of 20 South El Monte students who competed in the association’s state competition this last weekend at the Ontario Convention Center.

Even though none of its members individually qualified for the national competition, the team overall won a Gold Seal Chapter Award of Merit, given to only about 15 percent of the association’s chapters in the state, according to team adviser Tam Ly-Wong.

South El Monte teammates Jonathan Kirby, Richer Le, Elijah Marure, David Tan, Tammy Truong, Warren Duong, Emily Doan and Jessica Vasquez were recognized for their respective advancement in the association’s progressive Business Achievement Awards program, which introduces business skills through four distinct instruction levels.

Founded in 1940, the FBLA claims 250,000 members nationally and seeks “to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship,” its mission statement reads.

Vanessa Nunez, right, a senior and member of South El Monte High School’s chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America, fields questions from fellow 12th-grader Carolina Arellano last week, during the school’s open house.

Vanessa Nunez, another South El Monte FBLA member, dreams of opening a retail clothing operation providing high-quality apparel to communities that typically can’t afford it.

The club, Nunez said, taught her to think big and make her ideas come true.

In particular, she said, “it’s shown me how to get out there and talk to people.”

Local Citizenship Students Waiting to Vote

by Erik Derr

It was a quiet and uneventful class session until one of the students mentioned Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and loud opinions started flying, along with a burst of sustained laughter.

“Donald Trump is going to take everyone in the world and throw them out,” exclaimed Ynez Montalvo.

“Who’s going to do all the work if everyone gets kicked out?”

The longtime seamstress, who emigrated from Mexico in 1998, explained the ability to vote is a main reason she’s been attending United States citizenship classes offered twice a week at the San Gabriel Valley Services Center in South El Monte.

Free to the public and held throughout the year, the sessions are a service of the El Monte Union High School District, which mainly offers independent citizenship study options through its distance learning program.

“The district promotes and educates students on our nation’s political system through our citizenship literacy classes,” said Interim

Superintendent Edward Zuniga, and “solely encourages students to be active participants in politics and our current national election.”

Since launching in 2010, the citizenship literacy classes have served 785 students, 495 of whom have confirmed passing their citizen tests.

Phi Ngo, a mother of four and grandmother of seven who left Vietnam five years ago, said, besides voting, she’s focused on the other opportunities reserved for U.S. citizens.

Trump, said Frederico Contreras, also a Mexican immigrant, is why he really wishes he already had his citizenship so he could vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The current election cycle will likely be over by the time he’s called in for a citizenship interview, let alone pass it. Nonetheless, the retired maintenance supervisor said he’ll be happy getting the right to vote, whenever it happens.

After all, he said, “it’s a fight for the future.”

‘Time Jockey’ Headliner

by Joe Castillo

Remembering Coe....

Frank Coe Wilkins, who preferred to be called Coe, was born on September 23, 1926 and passed away on March 19, 2016. He was a tall and stately man who served his country during World War II and would go on to report noteworthy news events as a journalist for major and local newspapers. On November 4, 1943 at the age of 17, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps Reserves for a term defined as the “duration of the war plus 6 months.” He was stationed in Oklahoma City, given the rank of Private and carried the occupation of reporter. Coe earned a generous amount of $37.50 a month and spent time in the Philippine Islands during his days in the military.

Among the items Coe retained for over 70 years was a temporary pass to visit Las Vegas and a Q4 Mess Card which allowed him to eat in any military Mess Hall. Other retained items included Coe’s Selective Service, military identification and pay record cards. Coe’s life in the military was significant to him and for 70 years he kept these personal items as very special memories of his time serving his country during World War II. Following the war, Coe married the lovely Deon Parson and settled in San Gabriel where he raised two beautiful daughters, Page and Kelley. In his collection of memories, Coe kept a napkin from Panchito’s Restaurant where he and his wife celebrated the third anniversary of their marriage in 1955. In family cards written over the years to Coe, his daughter Page remembered him for attending her tennis matches in high school, being in the crowd for cheerleading tryouts and staying up until she returned home safely each evening, while his grandchildren fondly remembered him for his pancakes, lap sitting and safe chauffeuring. Coe retained the cards for nearly 30 years as a remembrance of the special and cherished love he shared with his loving family. Following the war, Coe became a journalist for the Los Angeles Times, and Alhambra Post Advocate and became a part of the Los Angeles press corps and profession.

He became a member of The Greater Los Angeles

Press Club and according to the organizations newsletter, The Eight Ball, Coe rose to the highly coveted position of Chairman of the Annual Awards Event known as the Headliner, an event which honored the person who received the most headlines over the past year. The Headliner event was the biggest event of the year for The Greater Los Angeles Press Club whose Board of Directors included journalists from the L.A. Times, Herald Examiner, KNXT, UPI, Belvedere Citizen and the New York Times. During Coe’s tenure as chairman and master of ceremonies of the event, celebrities such as President Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne and Burt Reynolds were recognized as Headliner honorees at the gala event. Coe retained programs and newsletters of his times in The Greater Los Angeles Press Club and as the Headliner chairman from the late 60’s as it was undeniably a special honor in his life. A loving and caring family, a young World War II veteran and a professional journalist are what Coe will be remembered for but his legacy will be a devoted family man who served his country with distinction and his profession with excellence, a wonderful and commendable life full of Headliners….

Senator Ed Hernandez, O.D. Honors Outstanding Women of the 22nd Senate District

by Glen Maldonado South El Monte

On March 24th, 2016, Senator Dr. Ed Hernandez, O.D. held his annual Women of Achievement awards ceremony to recognize outstanding women and their contributions to their respective communities.

Over 100 attendees arrived enthusiastically to cheer the honorees at the event held at the South El Monte Community Center as the honorees walked down the red carpet to receive their awards.

The theme for the 2016 Women’s History Month is “Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honoring Women in Public Service and Government.” This year, Senator Hernandez chose to highlight public service and the impact women have in society. Each of the Honorees were chosen for her public service and dedication to inspiring girls and women to achieve their full potential.

Senator Hernandez stated,

“Back when I was an Assemblymember, this award was given up in Sacramento.

In the Senate, there was no budget for it, but I felt it was important to still hold this event. In fact, it is more appropriate to hold his event in the district so that the community can come together to celebrate and honor our outstanding women, together.”

“This year’s Honorees represent the very best of the 22nd Senate District”,

Employees of El Monte’s Sam’s Club had reason to celebrate with the community on April 13 during an outdoor ceremony proclaiming them “Club of the Year” out of 652 locations nationwide.

This is the first time in 25 years a California Sam’s Club has won the company’s top honor.

To help celebrate the club’s commitment to the community, the company pledged $35,000 in local giving grants to three El Monte-based nonprofits: the El Monte Promise Foundation (a non-profit that helps prepare students for college at an early age), AltaMed Health Services (California’s largest non-profit federally-qualified health center), and the Greater El Monte Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10218 (a veterans nonprofit).

Mayor Pro Tem Victoria Martinez and City Manager Jesus Gomez joined the celebration and presented a certificate on behalf of the City of El Monte.

100,000 meals.

“It’s a great honor to win this national award and I’m so proud of our associates and members who have made this all possible,” said Club Manager Angela Deo. “We look forward to serving this community for years to come.”

Joe T.’s Scoreboar d

By Joe Torosian

Read it & Smile The Los Angeles Rams made a pre-draft deal with the Tennessee Titans this past week to get the number one overall pick in the coming NFL Draft. The Rams sent six draft picks to the Titans (four this year, two next year) and in return go three back, one being the first pick.

Good deal or bad deal?

I say bad. The way the NFL works, the way players careers can get cut short due to in-juries, it is best to build your team in the later rounds of the draft—the second and third rounds.

It saves salary cap money and you are certain to get the players best, healthiest, years. Does that theory work? Check out the Seattle Seahawks; they’ve been to the playoffs four times in the last four years, including two Super Bowl appearances, and one Super Bowl title.

This move by the Rams could really payoff if they draft the right player, but it could really blow up in their face if they take the wrong one. I wonder what the new “lifelong” Rams fans will be saying if that happens? ***I’m not a Los Angeles Dodgers fan anymore but that doesn’t, necessarily, make me a San Francisco Giants fan. Although I can make one assessment of the National League’s bay area club.

Angel Pagan, I’ve seen quite enough of Angel Pagan.

Have you ever had a play-

er (any sport) that you could care less about seeing ever again? He/She doesn’t have to be the worse player ever but just someone who is so un-interesting that you’ll channel surf when he comes to the plate. You’ll go to the kitchen or answer the phone and not hit the pause button when they are batting.

Do you have a player like this? If you do, drop me a line at joe@midvalleysports. com and tell me who it is. ***Last Add Dodgers: Whether I like them or not, I always love to see Howie Kendrick play…Even if the longtime second baseman is playing in left field. Was he worth trading Dee Gordon to Miami and trading lefthanded prospect Andrew Heaney to the Los An-geles for? Probably not, but Kendrick is a pro’s pro. ***Really Last Add Dodgers: I was in Creston, California last weekend for a summer camp board meeting and one of our members pulled out his laptop when we broke for dinner. He asked us if we wanted to watch the Dodgers-Giants game. Everyone agreed.

Who doesn’t want to see Madison Bumgarner and Clayton Kershaw pitch?

No one except the Dodgers because my friend, who pays for a subscription to MLB.TV through his Apple MacBookPro discovered the game was blacked out.

Meaning even with a paid subscription, over 250 miles away from Dodger Stadium, the game was still unavail-

able for viewing. …And Dodgers management continues to be lost as to why people are angry.

I say: Go Mets!

Mid-Bits (Like Tidbits) ***I’m hearing, through infamous back channels, that Alhambra is ready for a break-through this year. ***The Los Angeles Angels have called up lefthanded reliever Greg Mahle.

After getting a chance to see him this spring, I’m excited to see what he does for the Halos.

and family so that when an emergency occurs everyone knows what to do. The program emphasizes the importance of developing an emergency communications plan, fire evacuation plan and emergency contact cards.

At Baker School students were eager to learn about earthquake and fire safety and enthusiastically shared what they know about staying safe during a quake.

“When an earthquake hits we are supposed to get under something like a table or our desk,” said one student.

“That is correct,” said the Red Cross representative.

“In an earthquake you need to drop, cover and hold.

Drop underneath something sturdy, cover your head and neck, and hold on until the shaking stops,” she added.

“If there is a fire and your clothes are on fire you need to stop, drop and roll. Your number one job is to protect yourself and get out in any emergency.”

Students also received a preparedness workbook to take home and fill out with

their family. The workbook helps families create a home fire escape map, an emergency communications plan, emergency contact cards, and an emergencies supplies kit.

“I can’t wait to fill my pillowcase up with important things for an emergency,” said a student. “I’m going to put a flashlight, batteries, water, snacks, tennis shoes and clothes in it and leave it next to my bed so I can grab it quickly if I need to.”

“We greatly appreciate the American Red Cross for bringing The Pillowcase Project to our schools and teaching our kids about the importance of emergency preparedness in a fun and interactive way,” said George Schonborn, MVSD’s Director of Pupil Personnel Services. “The students had a great time decorating their pillowcase and look forward to filling them up with essential disaster preparedness supplies.”

Arroyo stays on top. The Lady Knights might be better than some of the baseball teams in the Mission Valley League. Duarte has caught fire and it was a great week for Temple City. The Rams won three games and vaulted into first place in the Rio Hondo League. Last week we said watch Sierra Vista and what did the Lady Dons do? They won a pair of games and have climbed from the tenth spot to number eight. Nothing is over this season in regards to softball.

1. Arroyo: 10-3 2. Maranatha: 10-7 3. Duarte: 11-6-1 4. Temple City: 9-6-1 5. Alhambra: 7-3-1

In another season all we would be talking about is Sierra Vista and its 12-game winning streak but there are just so many good teams in the mix. Look at the list below. We actually have 11 teams in the top ten because it was impossible to choose between Mt. View and South El Monte in the chaotic Mission Valley League. Then take a look at Rio Hondo Prep. The Kares have won four in a row.

by Joe Torosian Temple City

The Temple City High School girls softball team converted 10 hits into 10 runs and a 10-0 victory over the South Pasadena Tigers on Wednesday afternoon in Rio Hondo League action.

The Rams led 3-0 before blowing the game wide open with a five run fifth-inning.

They added two more in the sixth.

Nicole Schabow was one of three TC players to collect two hits (Amber Arreola & Bailee Weisz) she also scored three times. Haley Mitchell and Alyssa Dang (a freshman) both added doubles.

In the pitching circle, Celina Mesa went six-innings and allowed just one hit.

The contest was the first of two between the schools.

Temple City went to South

Pasadena on Friday and defeated the Tigers 12-2.

The Rams are now 9-6-1 on the season. South Pasadena is 0-10.

Arcadia High School running back Bradley Mills has committed to Whitworth University, Apaches head coach Andrew Policky confirmed Thursday.

Mills rushed for 461 yards and seven touchdowns last

year and he also caught 15 passes out of the backfield for 124 yards. He also had 21 total tackles when he filled in at linebacker.

Whitworth is a Division III school located in Spokane, Washington.

The Peterson Principle

By Tim Peterson

You don’t take a whole lot away from teams out throwing the ball in April.

A lot of the kids that you’ll see in the summer are still playing baseball or running track or still deciding if they’re going to play football or not. But it is a good place to touch bases with coaches and get a feel for the upcoming campaign.

It should be interesting at El Rancho this year.

There was already a sense of excitement as the Dons went through passing drills Saturday, a sense of expectation that things will get better. They have a new head coach and it’s a new season. After a 1-9 season, the only way to go is up right?

“These kids went through a lot,” said new coach Adrian Medrano. “You have to remember they have had four coaches in the last two years. It’s been tough.”

Medrano, who came to ER from Bonita, is a graduate of El Rancho but said that wasn’t the only reason he took the job.

“Bonita was great. But there were a lot of things that went into my decision, personal and otherwise,” Medrano said.

He was also happy to see Bearcat assistant Ibis Aguilar land the job at Bonita.

“The only thing I didn’t like was that I wanted to bring some of the Bonita staff over here with me.

But now that Ibis is there they will probably stay.”

Another team that hit some bumps in the road last year was South El Monte. The Eagles finished 3-7 overall and missed the playoffs under first year head coach Frank Gallardo.

“Sometimes with us I think it’s more of a mental thing,” Gallardo said Saturday. “A few weeks ago we threw against Whittier and we looked great. But out here today we’ve struggled at times. Sometimes I think it’s an Arroyo thing. Like we start thinking oh we’re going up against Arroyo so there’s no way we can win.

We have to get over that.”

When I asked him if he had considered joining old friend Margarito Beltran’s staff at Bell Gardens he just smiled and said, “No, I love it here at South.” **Gladstone has finally nailed down a head coach.

If everything goes according to plan, there should be an announcement this week. But the way things have been going at Gladstone this offseason, that’s a big if. **I thought I was the only one that was thinking

this but I had another coach tell me over the weekend, “What’s going on at Diamond Ranch? They just need to bring back Roddy Layton. Nobody else can get it right. When you think of Diamond Ranch football you think of Roddy Layton.”

That's my principle.

Entertainment Corner Hush

by Glen Maldonado National

“Hush” is an American home invasion horror thriller film. The twist in this film is that the main character Madison “Maddie” Young

is deaf. The film uses that to create a new immersive new style in sound and visuals.

“Hush” is about Maddie, an author who lost her hearing

at the age of 13. She lives in the woods by herself, the perfect place for a horror movie. A man wearing a mask comes from the woods and realizes that Maddie is deaf and uses that to his advantage. He breaks into her home and steals her iPhone and stars sending her photos to her laptop. Maddie unaware of what to do, locks herself in her home. The story starts there and things start heating up.

“Hush” is directed by Mike Flanagan who is best known for “Oculus” and “Before I Wake.” “Hush” is written by Mike Flanagan and Kate Siegel. Kate also starred in “Oculus.” Michael Trucco plays the killer John, and that sums up the entire cast by a few. This film debuted in South by South West and was praised by many and eventual sold to Netflix.

“Hush” like any other horror movie in the home invasion genre, try’s new things and succeeds. The film manipulates sound to create this new scare. Something like “Insidious” used to create a scary new sound with their scary soundtrack.

I like that the film is also fast paced. This movie from Blum House is refreshing

from what has been produced and it’s nice to see something different roll out.

HTC has announced the new flagship phone the HTC 10. The phone features a full metal body that kind of resembles the iPhone.

The software features a better simpler interface. If you know anything about Androids, you know that there is more than one app to open anything. HTC makes it easier by making the decision for you and selecting the best appropriate app. The 10 gives you a feature that Apple has called Air Play, which allows you to display your phone on a TV wirelessly.

It’s one of the best devices to produce a great sound through its headphones. The battery is nothing special and it provides around a week of power if you don’t use it. The screen features a 5.2-inch Super LCD 5 screen, conjoined in a sheet of Gorilla Glass 3, a strong glass but still breakable. I would still put this phone in

case for safety.

The front camera is a 5 megapixel camera with optical stabilization, giving you smooth selfies photos.

The phone uses a USB type c input, causing users to buy

a new charger. The standard connection for Androids is mini USB. The back camera features a 12 ultra-megapixel camera, making low light photos much better. A quad-core Snapdragon 820

chip inside reaches clock speeds as high as 2.2GHz. It is paired with an Adreno 530 GPU and 4GB of RAM. The 10 costs $699 and will be available at both T-Mobile and AT & T.

This phone can compete with the Galaxy and LG, but they have more features for the same price of the HTC 10.

Earth Day and Arbor Day 2016 Celebrations

by Annick J. Downhower National

Over the next two weeks, two holidays celebrate our natural world. Earth Day starts the festivities on April 22. In 1969, a devastating Santa Barbara oil spill, toxic fires on an Ohio river, and DDT poisoning of birds worried Americans. In response, Wisconsin Senator Nelson created Earth Day. The idea was so popular with the public that the US Congress adjourned to join the first celebration in 1970.

Since then, Earth Day has become an international celebration, with 192 nations and over 1 billion people participating in preserving our planet.

The last Friday of April is Arbor Day, America’s observance of the importance of trees. This holiday was begun in 1872 by newspaper editor J. Sterling Morton.

He encouraged the settlers of the new state of Nebraska to take one day in April to plant trees for their beauty and for use as a source of wood, fruit and shade. That first year, over 1 million trees were planted in Nebraska in response to Mor-

ton’s call. Arbor Day is now celebrated across America.

Below are Southern California events planned for the next two weeks in honor of both dates. Given current environmental concerns including California’s drought, climate change, and bee die-off, it would be nice to see more San Gabriel Valley cities participating. Here’s hoping that will happen in 2017!

bringing joy to others. Just over 3 weeks ago tragedy struck the Weitz family and everyone around them with the sudden death of their beloved daughter Lacey.

But there seemed to be very little time to grieve with the realization that a previously scheduled concert was slated for the following Saturday evening in Riverside. Nevertheless, and with the support of everyone the band, “Bella Donna” played the show. True professionals.

But in their sadness there is an important message that needs to be shared.

Here’s Michelle Tyler in her own words: Lacey Weitz, daughter of Bob Weitz and Michelle Tyler Weitz passed away on March 26, 2016 from

an accidental overdose of opiates. We would like it to be known that she was a kind, generous 26 year old girl who loved her family, friends and animals. She was happy working as a vet assistant and in an unfortunate moment let the inner demon take her away. She had a lot of plans and living to do but was struggling for many years as so many of our young people do with this horrible epidemic. Even in death, Lacey saved three lives as an organ donor. She never stopped caring for others even as she could not care for herself. Her father, brother and I will have a long and lonely journey through our lives without her. She would want us to help others, to address this

disease and get help, even though so many like our daughter are unable to do so.

Please teach your children about drug abuse. It is lurking everywhere, it knows no race, creed or status. We are grateful for the time we had and we will work to make her life and death meaningful by helping others through music and charity. There is a fund for animals set up as LACEY’S LOVE FOR ANIMALS at Veterinary Angels in Agoura, where she spent many happy weeks doing what she loved best. Donations of any amount will go 100% to help save animals lives for owners who cannot afford veterinary care. https://squareup.com/ store/the-little-angels-project

Through Sorrow, The Band Played On

by Sal Gomez Agoura Hills

The tribute band scene has its share of rock royalty and one of those is the husband & wife team Michelle (Tyler) and Bob Weitz. Performing as two bands in tribute to the music of Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks, “Bella

Donna” and the newest incarnation “Mirage,” they have a dedicated fan base and often perform to sellout crowds. Sadly life and its frightening aspects can even affect musicians that spend a great deal of their lives
