Remembering Stuart ( Stu) Martell Dunn

by Emily Bursarsky El Monte

Stuart (Stu) Martell Dunn, beloved husband, father, and grandfather (Baba), passed away December 19, 2013, in the arms of his wife and daughters after fighting a courageous battle against Interstitial Lung Disease. Stu was a life-long resident of the San Gabriel Valley. Born in Pasadena, he attended school in San Marino and graduated from California State University, Los Angeles in 1966. Stu began teaching in the El Monte City School District (EMCSD) in 1967 and married Georgia Poynor in 1968. He was drafted into the military in 1968 where he served four years in the Air Force managing training for the Supply Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base. He was also in charge of creating and implementing an education program for servicemen/women who needed to increase their skill levels within the military.

Upon completion of his military service, Stu and Georgia returned to Arcadia, California where they made their home for the next 45 years. Stu resumed his teaching career in EMCSD while completing his graduate degree in education.

He went on to become an assistant principal at Rio Hondo School, and finally a

principal at Cherrylee, Wilkerson, Gidley, and Cleminson schools.

Stu retired in 2005 and enjoyed several good years of relaxation at the beach, fishing, traveling, volunteering, laughing, and lots of time with family and friends. He adored his grandchildren and spent as much time with them as possible.

Stu was an avid supporter of Huntington Memorial Hospital, Our Savior Kids Campus, and the community at large. He was considered to be a warm, loyal and trustworthy individual by all his friends, colleagues, and family. He was a good listener; someone who was sought after for advice and would not hesitate to lend a helping hand. Even in his final days people came to thank him for the kindness he had shown them at a particularly trying time in their

lives. Stu was a bright light in the lives of all he touched.

He is survived by his wife Georgia, daughters Amy Hageman (John) and Emily Busarsky (James), his sister Debbie Holden, father-inlaw George Poynor, grandchildren Maiya Gabrielle and Joseph Stuart, and many cousins.

Family, friends, colleagues and former students are invited to participate in a Celebration of Life for Stu at the El Monte Community Center, Grace Black Auditorium on Saturday, January 25th at 3:00p.m. Hawaiian shirts and Old Guys Rule attire is welcome!

Blast Off! Citrus College Rocket Owls Again Selected for NASA Student Launch Competition

by Paula Green Glendora

A team of Citrus College students known as the Rocket Owls were recently chosen to participate in the 2013-14 NASA Student Launch Projects, a highly selective rocketry competition that has included some of the most elite universities from around the nation.

It is the second year in a row that the eight-member team of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students has achieved this remarkable feat.

The U.S. space agency recently announced that the Citrus College team will compete against 28 other academic heavyweights, including Cornell and Vanderbilt universities, in mid-May 2014 in Salt Lake City.

Citrus College is one of only two California colleges or universities to be selected to participate in the program, sharing the honor with California Polytechnic University, Pomona. Plus, just as impressive, Citrus College is one of only three community colleges nationwide to be chosen.

“Citrus College has established itself as a STEM-rich institution where students are exploring and engaging in hands-on projects to enhance classroom learning,” said Superintendent/

by Eugene R. Webb Wegener’s Granulomatosis (WG) is a disease; Auto-immune vasculitis makes you ill at ease.

So uncommon, most people don’t know about it; It can strike a person who is physically fit.

It’s a chronic disease that use to take a life; It was June 2001 when they diagnosed my wife.

She was 11 days in the hospital in Baldwin Park; A lot of those days we were still in the dark.

President Geraldine M. Perri, Ph.D. “The inclusion of the Rocket Owls to compete against such world-renowned colleges and universities for the second straight year is truly an impressive accomplishment!”

The Rocket Owls are part of a trio of accomplished students known as the Citrus RISE (Research in Science and Engineering) team. The RISE team also includes the Space Owls and CAPE Owls, who are involved in their own unique interdisciplinary STEM projects.

Rocket Owl team members are enrolled in upperlevel science and math courses at the college and are on track to transfer to four-year colleges and universities in 2014. They are Jaclyn O’Hara of Pomona;

The Capital Improvement which is an annual program

by Tracey Hause Temple City

At a noticed Special Meeting held last night, the Temple City City Council voted unanimously to terminate the employment agreement of City Manager Jose Pulido effective February 12, 2014.

In accordance with Mr. Pulido’s contract, he will be on paid administrative leave for 30 days and then receive a severance payment equal to six months of his base salary ($17,244.93/mo.).

Mayor Cynthia Sternquist stated, “The Council and Mr. Pulido enjoyed a productive working relationship and moved the City forward in a positive fashion. However, the Council’s evaluation was that they needed stronger leadership to lead Temple City into the future. We are saddened to take this action, but believe a separation is in the best interest of the City.

We wish Jose well.”

The Council will commence an active search for a new permanent City Manager after refocusing on the City’s priorities and assessing the type of leader best suited to guide the City into a new decade of opportunities.” The Council appointed Administrative Services Director Tracey Hause as Acting City Manager until the Council is able to select an Interim City Manager.

Time Jockey SAVANNAH SIGN

by Joe Castillo Designated Landmark….

Savannah Memorial Park and Cemetery unveiled its California State Historical bronze plaque at its annual meeting of shareholders January 11th. The plaque was acquired after the State of California Parks and Recreation division recognized Savannah as California State Landmark #1046. The plaque dimensions are 18 X 24 and follow the curved design with Grizzly Bear emblem which has been placed on a number of other California historical sites.

The wording on the plaque reads as follow: ‘Savannah Memorial Park, Established in 1851, on the spot where Harry Dalton’s land grant showed the “The American Graveyard,” Savannah was the first public burial site used by settlers who came to the San Gabriel Valley by wagon train. Many of these pioneers were instrumental in developing the educational, social and legal foundations of Southern California. Their family names are commemorated in the names of streets, buildings and parks throughout the area. These pioneers formed the foundation of the American presence in the El Monte, Rosemead and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley. California State Historical Landmark No. 1046.

Plaque placed by the State Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the El Monte Cemetery Association March 6, 2012.’

The plaque will be installed on a new wall which will provide a new face for the historic cemetery. No date has yet to be established for the wall and dedication but stay tuned to this column in future editions to keep up to date on Savannah’s dedication plans….. New Year’s Celebration… The Pasadena Tournament of Roses has celebrated the New Year in a lot of different ways in its 125 year plus history.

A football game, parade, horse races and chariot races were all used in a competitive way to bring in the New Year. In 1900, a horse by the name of ‘M.F.’ won the silver loving cup for horse racing. The owners of M.F. were a set of brothers, Archie, Tom and Mac Wiggins. Because Tom was the jockey on M.F. his name is on the cup. But the Wiggins Brothers didn’t limit themselves to horse racing, they also were involved in chariot racing. Going back to 1890 in the first Tournament of

Roses, chariot racing was held as part of the celebration. As a matter of fact, a team of chariot horses owned by Lucky Baldwin won the inaugural race.

Fourteen years later, Arch Wiggins drove home a team of 4 horses attached abreast to win the chariot race event for the tournament. It was a world record and it is believed that it is a record which will never be broken.

If you want to see the 1900 Tournament of Roses Horse Racing trophy won by the Wiggins brothers, check it out at the El Monte Historical Museum….

FANVIEW

By Joe Torosian Question The San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick is talented, gutsy, but he has a small problem. He still needs to learn how to play quarterback. Needs to learn how to play from the pocket. Funny, with all that the running quarterbacks are doing these days it still comes down standing in the pocket and throwing the ball down field.

If You Ever Saw... ...The Washington Redskins play in the 1980s and you saw how the fans were at RFK then you can understand what its like to see the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday. Talk about a college atmosphere. Awesome.

Quote of the Weekend “I wanted soft, because once I lit the fuse I became an inferno.”---NFL Hall of Famer Warren Sapp on the music he listened to before a big game.

Quote of the Weekend II “I’m the best corner in the game!”---Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

Happy Birthday this week to: 1/22: Former Rosemead girls basketball coach Jay Gauthier Sr. 1/23: Former Temple City Rams pitcher Kyle MacDonald turns 25.

1/25: Former Arroyo linebacker Gabriel Zendejas turns 25.

1/25: Former Arroyo lineman Alex Corral turns 26.

APU Rallies by Dominican, 71-64

by Tim Peterson Glendora

The Azusa Pacific Cougars improved to 8-5 (4-3 in league) with a 71-64 victory over visiting Dominican College Penguins on Tuesday night at the Felix Event Center.

Dominican fell to 11-6 (5-4 in league).

The Cougars trailed 36-35 at halftime, but opened the second half with a 16-6 run and never let it go. They were led in scoring by talented guard Troy Leaf with 17.

Kevin Stafford added 11 points and Tyler Monroe 10 to round out the scoring for the victors. LyDell Cardwell scored just nine points for APU but that was by going 3 for 4 from three point land.

The Cougars hit nine overall from beyond the arc.

The Cougars shot 43 percent from the field overall and 42 percent the three point line.

Williams Goes to Northview

by Joe Torosian Covina

Prep Football Is everyone aware that Pasadena Marshall moves in the Mission Valley League next fall? Not only will Marshall be the third school in the MVL nicknamed “Eagles”, it will be potentially the dominate force in a short time. Stay tuned.

Did You Know...?

Did you know that it takes 3,000 cows to create enough footballs for the NFL to use in a single season?

Boys Basketball Note The Gabrielino Eagles are 2-0 in league and 14-3 overall. Eagles head coach John Carney is not blessed with one scorer, but three in Bryan Phan (18.1), Eli Peters (16.2), and Grant Kirchoff (14.2). A rarity in area basketball and it makes them the favorite to run away with the Mission Valley League.

Girls Basketball Note The El Monte Lions are 8-6 and 2-0 in Mission Valley League play. Tiyana Watkins leads the team averaging 12 points and nine rebounds per game for Cristine Butler’s squad.

“I thought El Monte looked good before the season, coaching makes a huge difference,” said former Rosemead Panthers head coach Jay Gauthier Sr.

It didn’t take long for former Baldwin Park HC Chris Williams to find a job. Williams, who stepped down at BP a few weeks ago, is the new offensive coordinator for the Northview Vikings.

His task will be improving an offense that finished eleventh in scoring in 2013.

Not bad, but it placed the Vikings only fourth in scoring in the Valle Vista League behind San Dimas, Pomona, and Williams’ own Braves team.

“We’re excited to bring in a guy that has an offensive system that has the ability to put up big points,”

said Northview HC Marcel Perez. “He knows what he’s doing. Anytime you have the ability to bring in a guy like Williams who turned around an 0-10 Baldwin Park team you are happy to get him on staff.”

The Peterson Principle

By Tim Peterson

Village Christian could have done a lot worse than to bring in Mark Bates as coach. He was a key assistant under Bill Redell at Oaks Christian and knows what is needed to win a championship. Bates has seen first hand and been a part of what is necessary to win at the high school level.

Jay Schroeder played in the NFL so when he was hired as the head coach of the Crusaders three years ago, some people might have expected immediate success. But NFL playing experience doesn’t always mean success at the high school level. Schroeder was 15-17 in three seasons. Bates knows how to do work with kids and has a ton of experience at the high school level.

Great hire.

Another example that football is king: The game story on La Canada basketball coach Tom Hofman winning his 600th game which was posted late Friday night took 43 hits last Saturday on our website. Jason Martin stepping down at Duarte, which was posted Saturday afternoon, took nearly 200 by Saturday evening. Hey I agree.

Hofman’s achievement is incredible. But around these parts, football, even a mid January resignation, always supercedes.

Northview, which finished 8-3 overall but fell in the first round of the CIF playoffs to Montebello 24-17, may have felt that they just couldn’t keep up offensively when it came to getting to that next step. The Vikings addressed that this week when they brought in former Baldwin Park HC Chris Williams as offensive coordinator.

I’ve received a lot of comments and questions this past week about the coaching situations at Almont League schools Alhambra and San Gabriel. At Alhambra it’s been confirmed.

Head coach Eric Bergstrom is still the head coach and will be the HC in 2014. San Gabriel is still looking for a head coach and the search continues. I don’t know who it will be at this point but I do know who it won’t be.

Keith Jones.

Interviews will begin shortly at Cal and La Canada. The list of candidates is extensive at Cal. No news yet at Monrovia which is looking to replace three time CIF Champion Ryan Maddox. But keep this in mind. The Wildcats aren’t necessarily married to a successor that is already on staff.

The AFC Championship

is much more important to Peyton Manning than it is to Tom Brady when it comes to legacy. Brady already has his three Super Bowl rings compared to one for Manning. Brady’s greatness is secure win or lose. But should Manning lose and never get another shot he will go down as a quarterback that couldn’t produce in crunch time. I don’t like it but it’s the way it is.

Pete Carroll vs. Jim Harbaugh should be a good one.

The end of game handshake between the two might be more interesting than the game.

Pro Football has returned to Los Angeles. The LA Kiss of the Arena Football League has its home opener April 5 at the Honda Center.

level students to design, construct and successfully launch a high-power rocket to an altitude determined by the Range Safety Officer and the team. The rocket is required to carry at least two payloads or vehicle components that support the Space Launch System.

The teams will then share their research results, which will be used in future design and development of the new launch system and other NASA-related projects.

As part of the competition, NASA requires that the students build and maintain a website where all project documentation will be housed; take three exams administered by NASA engineers; and reach out to local school districts and communities to raise awareness of STEM education and career opportunities over an eight-month period.

This is the second time Riderer has led a team of Rocket Owls to the NASA competition, in addition to other national student programs. In 2010, Riderer was on hand when a Citrus College student attended NASA’s National Community College Aerospace Scholars program. In 2011, nine students from the college’s GraviTeam participated in NASA’s Reduced Gravity Flight Educational Program in Houston.
